Grow and learn with us! Everybody’s welcome in our Father’s house!

SECOND SATURDAY CLEANING DAY
Saturday, Nov. 9, 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m

Next Saturday, November 9, will be our monthly church cleaning day! Everyone is encouraged to join in tackling a few cleaning projects that require more time than our weekly cleans. Cleaning will be going on from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with coffee and snacks provided to those who participate! Please write “2nd Saturday” on your Communication Card so we know we can count on you for next weekend.

DECK THE HALLS
We're decorating the church for Christmas on Nov. 24!

It’s almost time to prepare the church building for Christmas, and we’d love for YOU and your family to be a part of the fun! Join us on Sunday, November 24, at 5:00 p.m. to deck the halls for the Christmas season! Many hands make light work, so we’re asking that you put it on your calendar now and plan to join us in a few weeks. We can always use a hand decorating trees, hanging lights, and transforming the stage!
