Fifth Sunday Fellowship Lunch
Sunday, May 29th at noon
We’re beginning to hold hands at the close of service, singing Bind us Together! Yeah, Yippee, Hoorah. But, we are still using hand wipes or hand sanitizer as we depart. We’ve learned a lot over the past two years and doing the things to protect one another is something that for many has become part of our daily life. So, we’ve learned how to be with one another, protecting, caring for and loving one another following all the guidelines. Now is the time to take what we have learned and come together as a church.
It’s time we bring back a community event where we can sit down with one another to break bread - a fellowship luncheon. So, mark your calendars and share the news as we continue the journey of opening up our church. Welcoming, loving and caring for those seeking a community that makes a difference. Start planning what you will bring!
Bring a side dish or a desert as we rekindle our connections with one another.
The church will provide fried chicken, baked beans, and salad.
