Let's Share a Special Holy Week!

We began this special week on Sunday (4/13) with our beautiful Palm Sunday service highlighted by our kids and youth leading us all in waving the palm branches. Also, the public and our church family enjoyed our annual Pancake and Porkie Breakfast before, during, and after church to help raise funds for our youth to travel to "The Great Escape" this summer. It was a beautiful beginning to an important week. Here's the rest of the schedule...
