News and Notes for the Week...

Summer is winding down and we're almost finished with Fall Registration in the Children's Program!  YAY!  I've got about 9 families left I'm waiting to hear from and we'll be ready for a new school year...


On September 2, we will be having a full multigenerational service where everyone will be upstairs for the entire service.  This is our annual Water Communion service so feel free to bring a bit of water from your most important places.  This is a great service where we get to see how important water is to all of us...


If you are a volunteer in our program or would like to be, please see the links to the right to sign up for services this fall.  We LOVE our volunteers and can't have a successful program without them!!!!  =)


See you soon!  Laura
