Mother’s Day

Sunday Schedule:

9 a.m. Sunday School for all ages

10:15 a.m. Worship

Welcome Visitors!

We invite you to fill out one of the visitor forms from the thin books in the pews to help us get to know you. Please place it in the offering plate. Thanks!

Please also note... Part of our gladness on the Lord’s Day is visiting with each other! But before the service please greet each other outside or in the parlor so that the sanctuary can remain quiet for those who want to meditate on the Lord.
