Weekly Email Blast
Graduates of 2020 are special! Won’t you please email or phone the church to tell us about graduates in your family? We want to know the high school and college and professional education graduates! Let’s honor them all in the weeks to come, since their experience is so different from many of us.
Also, if anyone is interested in applying for a scholarship from our Endowment Fund, please let me know I can mail a packet out to you.

Weekly Email Blast
I hope this weekly email finds you all in good health, staying at home and staying safe. Pastor P will be holding a weekly Zoom meeting on Thursday evenings at 5:00pm. There are instructions on how to join this meeting in the blast. As we get ready for our first Zoom meeting tomorrow, think about this question and bring your answer to the meeting: ‘What has changed in my life since the quarantine that really gets on my nerves?’.
We still have “Christ in Our Home” daily devotionals in a box on the front porch for you to pick up if you do happen to be out and about. Please be safe and mindful if anyone else is here.
Be well, friends.
