Happy Tuesday! I hope all of you are looking forward to the long holiday weekend. Please remember that there is no Sunday School, Communion Classes or Children’s Chapel this Sunday as we are giving our volunteers a much needed break before we head into Lent! But, there is still church at the regular times and Kid’s Club is open, so come on out to church on Sunday!
Lots of church news to share…
