Welcome! I’m very glad you’ve joined us for worship today. If you’re new or new-ish, take a mo ment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found in the pew back or on a table nearby.

And please take this bulletin home with you and make a plan to join us between Sundays at one of our many service projects, Bible studies, and more.
