Pledge Your Commitment in the "Take My Seat" Campaign
We need at least 200 individuals to move their worship time from both the 9:30 and 11:00 Sunday services to either 8:00 am or 5:30 pm Sundays. We’d like you to consider making a one-year commitment to one of these options and let us know by email, online, or by filling out the communication card and dropping it in the offering plate or on the altar. Join us at the NEW Sunday 5:30 pm* Service or 8:00 am Service to "make room for more" people at the 9:30 and 11:00 am Services!
*New SUNDAY Night Schedule
4:00 p.m. - Groups for all ages
