Senior Sunday Celebration & Potluck
Join us after worship on Sunday, May 4 for a churchwide potluck as we honor our graduating seniors. This special gathering is a chance to celebrate the students who have grown up in our community and are stepping into a new chapter of life.
Everyone is encouraged to bring a favorite dish to share. The church will provide fried chicken, bread rolls, and drinks.
It’s been a joy to watch these seniors grow in faith and serve within our church family. Their leadership, presence, and spirit have left a meaningful mark. Now, we gather in gratitude to bless them as they take their next steps. We hope you’ll be part of this joyful celebration!

Be the first friendly face people see on Sunday mornings! Our golf cart team greets people as they arrive, offering rides and a warm welcome from the parking lot to the church doors. It’s a great way to extend hospitality, lend a helping hand, and connect with others before they even step inside.
We’ll show you everything you need to know, and you’ll be part of a team that makes a real difference each week.
If you’re interested in joining, contact Mike King at mike.king@verizon.net.
