Welcome to all visitors. You are invited to stand during the service and introduce yourself, or to have someone else introduce you.  We want to give you one of our welcome packs and therefore encourage you to fill out the card and tear off the badge, write your name on it and wear it so that we can greet you during and after the service. Note that there is a wheelchair entrance from the back-parking lot through the double doors.

The church has a wheelchair in the back of the sanctuary for anyone wishing to assist a person coming to a meeting. Rest rooms for the disabled are available in the Preschool wing.     

Please pick up your offering envelopes from the back table. If you would like a packet of offering envelopes for 2018 please let the pastor know.

Thanks to coordinator Althea Browne and all who have made it possible these many years, come help build up the fellowship of the church!
