Hello Everyone!

We have cancelled all our in person activities for Sunday, January 25th because of the expectation of this winter storm.
In an effort to keep everyone safe, there will be no in person Sunday School or Worship.
Please stay warm and safe over the next few days.
We look forward to seeing you next Sunday.

There is a link below here that contains a brief Service of the Word with my sermon included.
