Sunday Adult Bible Study has resumed. Our current study is “Jesus – Up Close and personal,” and we are just starting the book of Mark. The class will once again be led by Michael Clendenen. Join us at 9 am on Sundays and engage in learning and fellowship.
From the Pastor
On October 29 we will celebrate All Saints Day with a parade of sorts. There will be scriptures and music related to saints. We will sing the chorus to the song, The Great Parade. Between this week and next, please think of people you consider to be saints, people--who have gone on before us or who are still living--who are faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. I look forward to seeing you next week!
