The Worship and Music Team is planning a dedication

of the renovated alter and the choir chairs. All but 6 choir chairs have been purchased and dedicated to individuals. If you would like to purchase one or more of the remaining chairs in honor of a special person, there is still time! Please contact Bob Bengtson or Lorraine Barrows.

MONTHLY BOOK GROUP

Do you like to read? Do you enjoy reading interesting books and discussing them with other people? You

may want to participate in the monthly book discussions with other church members and friends. We take suggestions for books and everyone participates in the conversation that ensues when we meet. You don’t need to read every book or attend every month, just show up when it works for you. If you haven’t finished the book, you’re still welcome to join us but spoiler alert – the ending and other important plot points will be discussed!!

The Book Group (usually) meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month upstairs in the Outreach Center.
