Parking Lot Picnic this Sunday |
The Parking Lot Picnic is Sunday, September 20 from 5-7 p.m. We encourage you to bring your lawn chairs or a blanket, and your own supper to eat and socialize 6 ft. apart from other people/families at church. There will be a few activities planned to provide you with a few smiles and laughs. We hope you'll be able to join us! |
We are excited to announce that we will be holding Virtual Sunday School this fall starting this Sunday, September 20, 10:30-11:30 a.m.
We will have separate virtual classrooms for pre-school, K-3, 4-6, and 7 & 8. The pre-school and elementary classes will focus on faith formation and developing relationships with others in your faith community. Students may need a co-participant to assist with the technology platform or keep on task.
