Backyard Fellowship
Again this summer, we will host Backyard Fellowships once a month, from June through September. These fellowships are informal times to build friendships and enjoy the summer. We are looking for volunteers to host these events. If you would like to be a host, sign up in the foyer. Steve will work with you in setting the date, time, and refreshments.
Outdoor Worship Services
Our first outdoor service of the season will be on Sunday, May 24th, at 10:20 am. We will worship under the pavilion and, we hope, enjoy the weather. As always, we will monitor the weather and make needed adjustments. We also plan to be outside on June 14th and 28th, as well as dates in August and September, yet to be determined. We will have plenty of seating, but if you’d like, bring your lawn chair. We are so fortunate to have the pavilion to worship under. Plan to join us!
