New Sunday Morning Schedule Begins August 10 Worship 8:15 • 9:45 • 11:05 Sunday School 9:30 • 11:00 am
New Sunday Morning Schedule to Begin August 10 In order to help make Sunday mornings more timely and meaningful, our worship times will be slightly adjusted beginning on Promotion Sunday, August 10, 2014. We believe that these extra ten minutes between services will make a significant difference! We will also make a small change to our Sunday School schedule. Our staff and lay leaders in music, worship, discipleship, youth and children ministries are already working on these adjustments for the fall.

Sanctuary Lighting Update Our sanctuary lighting is undergoing a major upgrade which is to be completed in late July/early August.
