Our Sunday School Classes have
now come to an end for the
summer months. They will
resume again right after Labor
Day, in September.
We are looking for volunteers to
do nursery care in July &
August. We are hoping to set up
the area in the chapel, just
outside the sanctuary, as an area
where parents can sit with their
children while they play. Parents
and nursery attendants will have
visual and audio access to the
service and the children will
have freedom to move around a
bit.
Wednesday Night Worship
is taking a break for the
summer. We will start up again
in September.
