He and his wife Nancy will join us after the service for a covered dish meal in the fellowship hall. So bring along a couple of your favorite food items to share! Absolutely everyone in invited!
Graduates to be Honored May 3
Also during our Homecoming Sunday service we will be recognizing our graduates. If you know of a church member who will be an upcoming graduate from high school, college, or graduate school or who graduated this past December, please notify the church office as soon as possible. We don't want to leave anyone out! We would also like to have a small photograph of each graduate so that we can prepare a bulletin board for graduation Sunday. Photos are due in the church office by Sunday, April 26.
