Hello Church,
Left me first apologize for being so late in getting this out this week. I’ve been down with whatever respiratory bug has been going around….not Covid (thankfully I failed that test) but its kept me out of action for the last couple of days.
What can I say about last Sunday!! It was a great day 😁
Thank you to everyone who made it happen. We had the band play, the choir sing, we shared in Communion, gave our pledges….and even had lunch. And by had lunch I mean that we could all smell what was being warmed up and it made it really hard to sit through the service.
Watch, in the next few weeks, for an update on what pledges we have received. If you haven’t turned one in yet, you can still do that! You can either bring it to the church or fill one out online at Online Pledge Card.
Otherwise this week is relatively quiet….although Orpha did meet today I think, and I’m sure that they had a great meeting.
Below, take a look at some important announcements and sign-ups. We’ve got a number of different things going on this year, and new things to check out.
