Adult Church School Series on Gospel Friendship ~ Sundays 9:30am
During Eastertide (and into Pentecost), we will be hosting a church school series on Gospel (or Spiritual) Friendship. Here is the C.S. Lewis article on friendship from last week’s class.
Praying for Susie Wong
Please lift up Susie in your prayers as she undergoes surgery on Tuesday, April 28th to repair a fractured knee cap. Sophia is serving as the point person if you desire to learn more.
Evacuation Drill ~ This Sunday, 4/26 During Church School
We'll have another evacuation drill on Sunday, 4/26, at 10am. Though we just had one in January, we thought it would be good to practice our protocols again, but this time during the church school hour. The gathering point will be on the sidewalk to the right as you exit the building on the 1224 side of the street, across the street from the 1275 Fairfax entrance. The drill will conclude once all children have been picked up by their parents or designated adult(s). Please remain at the gathering point until the all-clear is given.
Congregational Meeting ~ Wednesday, 5/6
Join us for our bi-annual congregational meeting. Members and soon-to-be members are encouraged to attend, and all are welcome. No life group this week. Bring your dinner and eat with others at 6pm. Meeting starts at 7pm. Childcare available through 5th grade.
