The Week Ahead and Beyond
This Sunday is the Ninth Sunday After Pentecost. "Caring for God's Creation" will be the theme of the service performed by Simple Gifts. After worship, we will enjoy lemonade on the lawn.
On Tuesday, July 28, it is Northside's turn to help staff the Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry, starting at 3:45 p.m.
Please note that there will not be an eUpdate next week, July 29. Bruce will be out of the office all week on a family vacation. |
