Take 2 on Sundays!

Get to know someone new this Sunday and "Take 2". Introduce yourself to someone new and ask 2 questions. If you haven't noticed - we have a lot of new faces among us. Get to know the person who sits next to you in the pew OR re-introduce yourself to someone if you've forgotten their name. Connections build stronger communities and you never know, you might meet your new best friend!
