WELCOME TO GUESTS! - We are so glad to have you with us! If you have needs or questions, reach out to an usher or elder, or use the contact info on the back of the bulletin. We’d love to hear from you! Turn in your guest card to an usher to receive a little token of our friendship.
SPECIAL WELCOME TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN - We have kids’ bulletins and activity bags— just ask an usher! If you need to leave your seat for a moment, we have a nursery with livestream down the hall; so you can still be involved with the service. Changing tables are in the women’s restroom.
