Coming Sunday
This Sunday Linda will preach on “Being Encouraged.” The choir will sing “Great Is the Lord” to enhance the worship service. We will celebrate communion.
Sunday School starts after Fellowship time. Kathy Carpenter will teach on the book Anxious to Talk About It, Helping White Christians Talk Faithfully about Racism by Carolyn B. Helsel. The adult Bible study will continue with John, and the kids will be having a short learning time with Susan downstairs during church time after they have their time in the sanctuary.
