COMING UP SUNDAY- NOV. 4

This is All Saints Sunday- it is one of the major feasts in the Christian church year.   All Saints Day always falls on November 1 and is preceded by All Hallows Eve- also known as Halloween!  Read the tab at the top of the page for more information!  All Saints Day can be transferred to the following Sunday, so we will celebrate it on November 4.  There is no church school this week so that every member of the congregation can take part in the worship service.
Our annual Veterans Day celebration will be held on Nov. 11.  There will also be baptisms that day.  Worship is at 9am and the reception begins at 10 am.  See the flyer on the left.  All veterans are welcome!
