Thank You for sharing this time of worship with us. We're glad you're here! Please sign the Friendship Register. Do come again! If you do not have a local church home, we invite you to make your home with us. Here you will find Christian love, opportunities for spiritual growth, warm friendships, and an appreciation of being part of God’s family.

Please Don’t Rush Off After The Worship Service. Stick around for a time of socializing and refreshments. We hope you are able to stay! The Education Hour follows at 10:30. Welcome!

Large Print Hymnals and personal sound devices are available at the usher's station to help make worship more meaningful for those who may appreciate such assistance. Just ask one of the ushers before the service.

If you or anyone you may want to bring along would like to attend, please register by calling the church office (651-645-2575) as soon as possible.
