Dear Church Family, July 18, 2024
I hope everyone had a good weekend! My husband has been working all weekend on replacing our deck. Apparently after 26 years it needed to be replaced. He got most of it done before the rain on Sunday. Tomorrow is our youngest son’s birthday he will be turning 17!
Announcements:
Guiding Council will meet this Sunday July 21st immediately following church in the sanctuary. Everyone is welcome to attend after the service.
