 Dear Folks,

 

Hope you are all keeping warm and dry!

 

This Sunday, October 9, is the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost. The scripture is Luke 17:11-19.  The sermon is "For Granted".  This will be an outdoor service, our last for 2022.  Please bring your own chair.  The service will be in the sanctuary in the event of bad weather.
