This week's worship will be full of special dedications, sacraments, and commissions!

We will be dedicating the NEW handbells for our Carillon Handbell Choir which can now expand to accommodate new members with the funds raised through last year's Give-A-Bell Program.

We will also celebrate the baptism of Nora Stillerman! Presbyterians celebrate baptism as a communal act of public worship, join us as we say "YES" to walking alongside Nora and her family as we seek to nurture and love her as her family of faith.

Finally, we will be commissioning our Vacation Bible School volunteers to teach, lead, and be channels of God's grace through next week's VBS.
