GRILL AND CHILL
The church family is invited to gather in the Courtyard for an early Pastor Appreciation celebration on September 14th at 5 PM to honor and thank Pastor Helen for her leadership and guidance to our Stout family! Our grill master will do the hot dogs to perfection and we will have a few sides and chips. And saving the best for last……there will be ice cream and cake!!! There may even be corn hole for those with a competitive spirit (or who just want to move and have fun). So please put this on your calendar and let’s join together to celebrate!
