Thank you, Rev. Stan Henderson, for leading yesterday’s worship service.
NEXT SUNDAY (OCT 4)—We will observe World Communion Sunday. Come prepared to celebrate communion in tandem with Christians around the globe! Our worship table will be decorated with items YOU bring from home to display. A postcard, souvenir, whatever you have from another region of the U.S. or the world … put it on the table for all to see. Rev. Jack McNary will lead our worship service. P.S. This is also our Food Closet collection day, so remember to bring a non-perishable food item for the basket.

Could you arrive at church some Sundays at 10 a.m.? We are really in need of a few helping hands to do some simple tasks such as putting out the offering plates and opening the sanctuary doors. When you arrive, simply check the “to-do” list in the sanctuary!
