If you'd like to host a table (decorate and serve the ladies at your table), please stop at the booth in the lobby this Sunday. Tickets for the Tea will be on sale very soon!

HOLY WEEK AT SEC -- We will be journeying through the unparalleled events of The Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and Jesus' triumphant Resurrection in one inspiring service on Sunday, March 31, at 9:15 am. There will be childcare for our youngest through age 4. All Sunday School classes are paused for the day so that we can worship together with our families.
