A note from Pastor Travis 3/9/23

Posted on Posted in A Message from Our Pastor, Church Events

Though COVID is still with us, we are learning to better manage our risks and continuing to adapt and adjust to live with it. As a result, we are beginning to enjoy many of the things that were put on pause due to the pandemic.

This means, this year we will be holding two ecumenical events that are dearly loved by people: The Ecumenical Palm Sunday Service and the Easter Sunrise Service. In addition to these services, we will hold our traditional Holy Week and Easter services at church.

Though it may seem like Holy Week and Easer are a long way off, they will be here before you know it. I encourage you to mark your calendars now so you won’t miss out on these worship opportunities. Invite a friend or two and share the blessings!
