If you are looking for a church home, we hope you will consider becoming a part of our church. If you would like to join our church, please call the church office at 924-8063. Before the service speak to the Lord; during the service let the Lord speak to you; and after the service speak to one another. Today we celebrate Holy Communion for Pentecost Sunday. All who profess Christ as Lord and Saviour are invited to partake. The pastor and acolytes will distribute the wafer and juice to you in the pew and after all have been served, we will partake together. We hope you experience God’s blessing in your time with us today and throughout this week. We also hope you will return and worship with us again.
