Bible Study -The Life of Abraham: This week at our Monday morning Bible Study we meet Melchizedek. Who was this king that we meet only once in Genesis and why is he mentioned again in Psalms and in Hebrews? Join us at 10:00 tomorrow morning in the Fellowship Hall.

Welcome! Today we have the wonderful opportunity to share in the Lord’s Supper. This is a celebration of our oneness with Christ and with each other. We invite all our guests who, like us, have confessed Christ as Savior and Lord, to join with us in this sacrament.

Reminder: Exiting Committee chairs please have a meeting with new committee chairs to brief them on 2026 duties, responsibilities and any current activities your committee is involved in. Thank You
