JANUARY 2: Ring in the New Year by celebrating Epiphany with your church family.

NO SUNDAY SCHOOL DECEMBER 26 OR JANUARY 2.

We will have amended office hours between Christmas and New Year's so that we may offer our staff some down time during this season. Monday, December 27-Thursday, December 30, the office will close at 1:00. We will continue to check voicemails at the office at the end of each day, and you may reach Pastor Dawn on her cell at any time during the week if assistance is needed.

May we all find time for celebration and renewal this holiday season!
