BRING YOUR FAVORITE DISH THIS SUNDAY! A lot of BIG CHANGES will be taking place in our Church starting this Sunday, March 5th. In all the excitement, don’t forget about our Monthly Family Covered Dish Dinner which will take place this Sunday, after the 11:00 AM worship service in the Activity Building. AHHH, you say that you attend the 8:30 service? NO PROBLEM! If you attend the 8:30 service, you have plenty of time to go home and prepare a dish and return. If you don’t feel like cooking, that’s okay! You might want to pick up some Fried Chicken (ALWAYS a favorite dish with young and old alike). Our monthly family dinners are great opportunities to enjoy good food, fellowship with Church family you don’t see every day, and enjoy the background music. COME! ENJOY!
