Fall Back! – Don’t forget to move your clocks back one hour on Saturday night.
Please join us in the hall as we celebrate birthdays. Whether it be a milestone or not we have reason to celebrate and thank God for his beautiful gift of life. Of course, we have cake but let’s not let cake be the focus, it is the people we wish to celebrate!
