Welcome Visitors!

the parlor so that the sanctuary can remain quiet for those who want to
meditate on the Lord.

Friday, July 22, 7:00 pm “Spy Kids”
Rated: PG
Please invite your friends and join us for another Family Movie Night! Popcorn and drinks will be provided at the show on Friday, July 22 at 7 p.m.
Summary: “Carmen and Juni think their parents are boring. Little do they know that in their day, Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez were the top secret agents from their respective countries. They gave up that life to raise their children. Now, the disappearances of several of their old colleagues forces the Cortez' return from retirement. What they didn't count on was Carmen and Juni joining the ‘family business.’ This is a fun and exciting live-action movie that emphasizes the importance of family.” Questions? See Mark Tucker or Kelli McKie.
