Come Celebrate September 8th!

 

Our "Downtown Gem" is calling! Sporting a spiffy, newly renovated sanctuary, all dressed and ready to shine, our Claude Bragdon building gives all of us something to Brag about! We heartily encourage you to wake from your midsummer nights' dreams and march right into the sanctuary with gusto on September 8th! In our first service of the new church year, we will focus not only on the beauty that surrounds us, but on paying tribute to our generous benefactor, Beryl Haas, who made this renovation possible. We will also acknowledge with joyful gratitude all those whose hands, hearts, time and dedication have been gifts of major proportion to our congregation. Theirs is truly a work of love. Step lively! Step into our new church year with us on the 8th, and bring your enthusiasm, 'cuz we're celebrating!
