Worship retreat to plan services for August thru October. Who should come: Worship Coordinator, Service Coordinators, Choir, Bell Choir, Family Service Coordinators, Event for All Sages Storytellers, and Tech Crew. (Current people and anyone interested in joining one of these groups!)
In honor of the visit of Rev. Cynthia Cain, and because our kitchen manager, Annie Terrell, is the Summer Song Presenter, the developmental ministry selection task force is planning a potluck for lunch on July 21st. We hope folks will bring their special dish, whatever that is. If you don't have a special dish or you don't cook, we want you to come anyway and enjoy the meal and fellowship. We will assure there is plenty of food. Please plan to participate.
