Celebration of Life

Rev. David Carl Olson
 
We conclude our year of Sunday morning services in our historic Sanctuary with a reflection on the past year and some thoughts about the summer ahead. We are grateful for the leadership of many trustees and officers and the chairs of church committees and ministries. We thank our volunteers and staff, and give a grateful blessing on all in our church relationships.
