News:

    • Sunday School Will Be Resuming Soon! With the steady improvement of the public health situation and the low transmission rates of COVID in area schools, Session feels that it is safe to resume in-person Sunday School classes with suitable precautions. The Christian Education Team will be meeting shortly to work out the details and set a date for classes to return.
