Hi everyone!
You can look forward to this newsletter from yours truly. It comprises of time-sensitive announcements, events, service schedules, offering schedules, our prayer list and a link to our bulletin "Hot Sheet". I will send these out each week, typically on Thursdays. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
Have a great weekend and see you on Sunday!
In Christ,
Nancy - Church Office Administrator
Sunday morning text: Acts 2:42-47
