Caring Visitor Gathering

If you are interested in interacting with someone who is either unable to attend church regularly or who has reached the Cherished Elder stage in his or her life, please join us for an information sharing gathering on November 4 th after the second service.  We’ll meet in Fellowship Hall and hope to explain the program to anyone unsure of its function as well as do some assignments. A very simple meal will be provided and all are welcome.
