Early Weekend Edition
March 31, 2023
Guest speaker this Sunday:
Fenton Gardner from the Cornerstone Church in Duluth, GA
Due to some issues with the new carpet installation in the auditorium, the plan as it stands right now is that our service this Sunday, April 2, will be an OUTDOOR SERVICE at 10:30 AM. You are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, but there will be some folding chairs available. According to the weather forecast, we are expecting partly sunny skies with temps in the mid to upper 50’s during the worship service.
Children will stay with their parents during the singing, and when the sermon begins, the children can go to the playground. Children’s Ministry volunteers will be watching the children on the playground.
The service will not be live streamed.
John and crew will not be resetting the auditorium yet.
An announcement will be made when help is needed. Thank you!
Easter Service plans will be sent out next week!
