The days are getting shorter and outdoor activities will soon be curtailed. Many of us have had the opportunity to gather for the 11AM outdoor worship service, go for walks together, or have lunch outdoors but pretty soon many of us will be more homebound. The Care Groups are being reactivated and reconnecting. Did you know…

A new tradition has been started – brunch after the 10:15 Easter service.
