Pastor Josh and Heather are currently with Heather’s family in North Carolina. Heather’s grandfather has been moved to hospice care and the family is gathering around him.
Pastor Josh and PSK have talked and come to the conclusion that it would be best to cancel the Summer Bash that was scheduled for this Sunday, June 4. We apologize for the late notice and will decide at a later date if we want to reschedule. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help and to bake cakes for the event.
Summer Worship
All are invited to worship this summer as your schedule permits. Note that starting on June 18, we will transition from 3 services to 2 services at 9:00 am and 10:30 am.
Throughout the summer, families and youth are welcome to assist in worship as greeters, ushers, readers and acolytes. Reach out to Kim Wenk (kbwenk@gmail.com) if any training is needed.
