Join the Church Sunday
October 30 @ 10:30 AM
Have you been attending and intending to join the church someday? Then “Join the Church Sunday” is for you. On that day front pews will be reserved so there will be no need to “walk the aisle,” but rather you can sit together with others who will be joining the church too. At the end of the worship service, you, with the others, will be presented for membership.
If you would like to participate, call the church office @ 986-3098, ext. 0 or come to an orientation meeting that same Sunday, October 30 @ 9:15 AM in the Sanctuary.
Deacons Meet
