So lace up those shoes, get in the spirit and join us on Sunday mornings at 9:45 AM in the Youth & Family Room. We look forward to seeing you there! Breakfast is provided. While the kids are participating, we welcome parents to join in “The Wired Word” group study during this time in the Parish Hall!
