Good evening! Due to the combination of frigid temps, blowing snow, and the fact that our parking lot is dangerously covered with ice, we have made the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow's service.

Here's what you need to know - we WILL have our ugly Christmas sweater contest NEXT Sunday, December 21. We will have donut holes before service, followed by a traditional Christmas service with special music and a retelling of our Savior's birth.
