FIND YOUR WAY... AROUND THE CHURCH!Have you ever had trouble finding your way...around the church? A great way to get to know the layout and rich history of our church campus is to take a guided tour. There are several ways to do it. Guided tours will be given on the second Wednesday of every month at 10:00am. Or you can call and arrange for a private small group tour. You can even take a self-directed tour at your own pace. Ever wonder what those bees are all about? Come find out! For more information, contact Beverley Alberson at [email protected].
