Summer in the Psalms 2018

This summer we will be having Summer in the Psalms during Sunday evenings from June - August. This is a relaxed time of fellowship and being encouraged by a psalm. Each Sunday evening the church will provide a dinner to encourage a time of fellowship and getting to know each other more. There are two areas of ministry opportunities with Summer in the Psalms. We need church members to serve by helping to cook and serve the food and to teach the children (1st - 6th grade) a psalm. If you are burdened to serve in either of these ways, please contact Pastor Love regarding which weeks you would like to serve.
