Please bring a Flashlight to Family Worship!
Families are invited to gather in the lounge this Sunday, February 10 for our Family Worship service at 9:45. We will gather, learn some music, do a little tiny art project and prepare to go up the mountain with Jesus at 10am. If you are in the skit (and not in children's choir) please arrive at 9:30 to briefly go over the skit.
The youth who were in Godspell will be singing one of their songs at the end of worship! We're so excited to worship with their music!
This Sunday we will be celebrating the Transfiguration! We ask that each family bring one flashlight so that collectively, we can make Jesus shine brightly!
