NEW CHURCH SCHEDULE BEGINNING JULY 7 Our church council discussed and voted to have one

consolidated Sunday service for July and August. One full

service will allow our congregation to come together as one

body in worship. It would reduce the toll on our technical

team, security team, ushers, deacons, choir members and

other volunteers who help out for two services. Finding

people to fill these slots is especially tough in the summer

with families coming and going on vacations. The summer

months provides the perfect opportunity to try this model. At

the Church Council meeting on August 6 we will discuss

feedback received and make a decision to continue or

discontinue this model moving forward.

The new schedule is as follows and will begin on July 7

Sunday School will be at 9:15 am

Sunday Worship will be at 10:30 am
