    PLEASE NOTE: Due to the weather forecast and out of concern for everyone’s comfort and safety, the BBQ will be held in the Assembly Hall. There has been a significant increase in wasp activity on the front lawn, and with food being served, we want to avoid creating an additional nuisance and, most importantly, help ensure no one gets stung.   Join us for a BBQ with hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, drinks & desserts (gluten-free and vegetarian options available) after worship service to reconnect after the summer break. Interested in volunteering to prepare food, set tables or provide a side dish or dessert?
