Join us on SATURDAY for worship! Details in the original post!

Join us for worship on SATURDAY!

With a potentially large snowstorm in the forecast for Sunday morning and beyond, we will gather for worship on SATURDAY, January 24th instead.

Here’s what our morning schedule will look like:

9:00 AM— Men will gather in John Naas Hall for the East Pete Men’s Prayer Breakfast. Ladies, there will be muffins and coffee prepared for you in Chapel Hall at the same time.

11:00 AM—Join us in the sanctuary for a time of worship. Kent Rice will share the message that God has laid on his heart. We’ll hear God’s word, praise Him through song and pray together.

For community members here for the breakfast, we invite you to join us in worship as you are able - it is good for the different parts of the body to join together to seek and worship the Lord! That said, continue to join and support you're local body as we all navigate the weather. :)

We hope to see you then!
