THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2ND we will observe World Communion Sunday and the 17th Sunday after Pentecost. The service will begin at 10 AM both in the church sanctuary and live-streamed to the church Facebook page and YouTube channel.

We are invited to bring pumpkins to church to be used for decorations recognizing Punpkinfest both in the sanctuary and outdoors in front of the church.
