This Sunday is our single indoor service with a picnic to follow. It’s a special Sunday of fellowship and celebration for the upcoming summer. There will be no Sunday school, children’s church, or ABC’s that Sunday.
*Due to the weather forecast, this is now an indoor service. Weather permitting we hope to continue with our outdoor picnic, but we will be prepared to move to the gym if needed.
