Savor Your Service ...
Taste the Tropics!

This congregation needs you! It takes hundreds of volunteers to help our congregation fulfill its mission, which is to join our lives to God’s love for the world. We invite you to the “Savor Your Service” luncheon Sunday, May 16, at His Place right after the second service, where you will have an opportunity to see, hear about and discuss many of the opportunities to volunteer in the ministries of our congregation. Service is the life-blood of our congregation (and great food is rather important to us, too!). Taste the tropics (lunch, with a Hawaiian theme) and Savor the Service this coming Sunday.
