And, of course, we need to mention Patty Jacobson, in whose memory the piano was donated in the early 80’s.
Join us for worship on Sunday, November 10th. We will be looking at Generosity and Commitment! We would love to see you in person, but if you can't make it to the service, you can always watch it here on Facebook.
