COMING UP SUNDAY- SEPT. 20

This is the 17th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 20).  It is also Welcome Back Sunday!  If you have been gone for the summer, or a bit longer, this is a great day to start back to church. Worship begins at 9am and you can be out the door by 9:50 with still plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Of course, you can always stay for fellowship and refreshments following the service.  Coffee hour is part of our Sunday schedule.   Church school begins this week at 9am for children age 4-12.  The children are in class for about 30 minutes and then join the rest of the worshiping congregation at the time of the announcements.  We are a multi-generational congregation - our youngest member is 1 week old and our oldest members are in their 90's- and they are all in church together!!  Come join us as we worship and celebrate the love of God together.
