Regular Worship Schedule: Youth Sunday School 9:00 a.m. | Worship Service
10:15 a.m.
BY ORDER OF THE SESSION: In order to be good
financial stewards of the Church's resources, the Session decided that the
Sunday morning worship service will be held in the Chapel and will begin at
10:15 a.m. instead of 10:30 a.m. This change will
begin on Sunday, November 2, 2008 and continue through the month of March 2009.
By worshipping in the Chapel, we can reduce the cost of
heating the Sanctuary
during the winter months.
