Twice yearly we are blessed to welcome new members to our church family; one week from today we'll do so again. You are cordially invited to the New Members' Reception, held next Wednesday, October 26, in the Upper Room at 7:00 p.m. — a time to hear testimonies and celebrate God's grace in the lives of those who have completed the New Members Class. A dessert reception follows.
