Reformation Vespers: Inviting all children to come and join us tonight for vespers at 6pm in the Fellowship Hall as we reflect on the significance of Reformation Day—a time that transformed the history of faith and deepened the understanding of God’s Word. We will have a light potluck supper to follow. We ask that you contribute with these items:
A-B Tostitos or Chips
C-D Chopped/washed lettuce
E-L Chopped tomatoes
M-P Salsa

During this inspiring evening, we’ll explore the courageous story of the Reformers, their lasting impact on Christianity, and what it teaches us about faith, truth, and personal conviction today.
Come ready to learn, reflect, and be encouraged in your walk with God. All are welcome—bring your family and friends for a time of spiritual growth and historical insight.
