See You This Sunday!
This Sunday, December 29, there will be a combined service, a Wesley Covenant Renewal Service at 10:00 AM in Asbury Hall. This will be an uplifting service designed to help center our lives around Jesus for the new year! There will not be Kid’s Ministry programming or childcare available on that Sunday, but there have been special “busy bags” prepared for the service!
