Well, it was great to have sound systems working in both worship spaces this past Sunday. I heard many positive comments about the new system in the sanctuary and I am so thankful that the system installation is complete.
As a church family we had the pleasure of receiving the Wilson family into membership this past Sunday in the 8:45am service. Please welcome Blake and Allie along with their children Briley, Emily and Millie. It is always good to receive new members. See you Sunday,
