Thanksgiving Service
 Wednesday, November 23, 11:30 a.m.
This year we celebrate Thanksgiving together with preschoolers and their families. This thirty minute service will be a special way to bring our thanks to God. There will be traditional hymns, songs from the preschoolers, psalms and prayers. This is a great way to remember the reason for Thanksgiving, as well as to meet and greet some of our preschoolers and their families.

Together We Give and Serve
Each week in worship we project a Bible verse while the offering is being received.
