A perfect morning for Ice Cream Sundae Sunday at today's Fellowship Hour! It was also a great time to celebrate all the kids (and teachers) in our Sunday School who unveiled the murals they have been creating. So much creativity, talent, and fun! Sunday School will resume again in the fall.

Our organist and choir treated us to some outstanding musical pieces, including the rousing organ prelude “Toccata on Beethoven Themes”, which left us wanting an encore. The choir will take a break for the summer but will be back in the fall! We so appreciate their gifts of music.
