Children: Join us for Sunday School following the “Hymn Sing” and the “Blessing of the Children”. Michael Gomez and Sadie F. Boyer will continue as Sunday School teachers. We will not have Sunday School on Communion Sunday which is the 1st Sunday of each month.
The Ash Wednesday Service will be on Wednesday, March 5th at 12 Noon. The service offers our congregations the opportunity to begin the journey of Lent together marking the themes of penitence and repentance from sin that characterize the Lenten season as the church moves toward Holy Week and Easter.
Thank you, Rev. Gould for the beautiful church signs! They were a long time coming, but they are installed and look wonderful! Acorn Graphic artist, Martin Melendez did the work and donated the installation of the main church sign, the welcome to worship section and the church parking sign. The Session approved the design which was presented for approval by Committee members Sadie F. Boyer and Denise Ortega. Please invite your family, friends and neighbors to worship!
Sanctuary flowers are given to the Glory of God. If you are interested in providing flowers for the sanctuary, please let Sadie know.
If you are interested in becoming a church member, please speak with Rev. Gould or an Elder.
