Coming Sunday
This Sunday Linda will preach on “Saving the Hairs on Our Heads.” The choir will sing “Soon and Very Soon” to enhance the worship service. We will celebrate communion.
Sunday School starts after Fellowship time. Linda will resume her series on the history of western Christianity. The adult Bible study will continue with John, and the kids will be having a short learning time with Susan downstairs during church time after they have their time in the sanctuary.
There will be a stated Session meeting at noon following Sunday School. |
