A special welcome to Rev. Doug Runyan, who will preach in morning worship.

The entire family will be here and will greet friends and guests in The Press downstairs during the Sunday School hour, hosted by the Koinonia Class, as well as during the potluck lunch. Be here for a wonderful time of re-connecting!
