Saturday, April 20 Passover Service
We will be having a Passover service on Saturday April 20 from 7:30 - 9:00 at the building. Near the end of service we will be lighting candles. Since we have not done this before please be very mindful of your children. The candles will be lit for only a few minutes, and at the end the ushers will collect them. We look forward to remembering Jesus together on this day.
