Let’s get together over the summer! Our first summer gatherings were a success, so we’re doing it some more! Both the Thursday afternoon coffee house and Sunday evening brewery sessions proved to be a time to socialize and have informal and open conversations about issues of faith! Our next get-together is tonight at New Trail Brewery at 6:00 p.m. (note time change). For this evening’s session, you can either eat before you come or choose to get something at the permanent on-site food truck (Real Taste Mexican). Join us and, as always, feel free to invite friends!
SEW FINE QUILTERS Two quilt days are scheduled for this summer, Monday, July 25th and Aug. 15th from 9:00 am -3:00 pm in Bell Hall. Come and go as your time provides and if possible, join us for a provided lunch at noon.
*COFFEE HOUR UPDATE from July through September there will be only one Coffee Hour each month and it will be held in Bell Hall. The Coffee Hour will be immediately following the 9:30AM service on the first Sunday of each month. An additional Coffee Hour following the 8AM service on the third Sunday of the month will resume in October. Please consider signing up for Coffee Hour! Sign up sheets for both Coffee Hours are located in the entrance hallway.
