Greetings!
Last week we included a survey based on all the changes that are taking place at the federal government level. The survey is for anyone who has been impacted by the layoffs. The survey is also for anyone who wants to help our members, parents of our preschool and afterschool programs, and those in our community. We will compile all responses by the end of next week. We look forward to hearing from you!

Sunday, April 6 - Fifth Sunday in Lent - 8:30 am, 9:45 am, and 11 am
Come and be with us as we hear God's Word and receive Holy Communion during this Lenten season. Each week we depend on our worship leaders to help with the services. On Sunday we are in need of a reader and acolyte for the 8:30 am service. We also need an acolyte for the 11 am service. We thank all those who volunteer each week!
