Please Note Location Changes for Sunday, August 24
Our Christian Ed Center sustained significant damage when a fire sprinkler flooded our education wing. (No actual fire.) The entire wing will need to have its floors replaced, drywall repaired, and rooms repainted and refurbished. It will be closed for five weeks, with reopening scheduled for Sunday, September 28. Starting this Sunday, we will be shifting classes to the rooms noted below. Parents of elementary age children, please bring your kids straight into the Fellowship Center if you need help finding their new room. Many children's classes will be located right off the Fellowship Center.
