News and Events
ALL EVENTS AT THE CHURCH SCHEDULED FOR FEB. 16TH HAVE BEEN CANCELLED
Out of our desire to keep people safe, the decision has been made to cancel Sunday service Feb. 16th due to the impending winter storm. We are grateful to those who travel a distance to come in, and to those who are close by. We encourage everyone to worship God in your own way wherever you are. Perhaps you might check in with someone you know might be alone, who would normally come in to church.
