Sunday, May 31 - Strong bodies are again needed to bring our grounds back to normal - Lunch provided

This Sunday 10 am Communion Service...
through the eyes of a child!

This Sunday, May 31 there is no Sunday School, and instead we will have a special opportunity at the 10:00 service to learn about why we do what we do in our service. As seen through a child's eyes, we will learn from this "Instructed Eucharist."
Insights will be shared that will fascinate children and adults alike. Bring your friends who have questions about the Episcopal tradition.
Be sure to sit near the front so children can see and hear what is going on. Jesus welcomed the little children - and so do we!

Note for Sunday School families-please arrive early at church at 9:30am to practice with the choir.

Next Sunday, June 7th

Please participate as you can by bring a side dish, a salad or a dessert to serve 10 or more. Hamburgers, hot dogs, buns and all the fixings will be provided. Congratulations to our leaders of tomorrow!
