New Locations for Sunday Worship Begin Next Week Today’s worship is the last worship to be held in the Sanctuary for some time. This week, the Sanctuary building will close for renovations. Beginning next week, the 8:00AM Worship service will be held at Trinity United Methodist Church (2 blocks away.) The 9:30AM and 11:00AM services will both be in Maxwell Hall. Sunday school classes that previously met in the Sanctuary building have been relocated to other rooms. (the insert in your bulletin has more information on this.) Maps showing the new locations of these classes are available in the Sanctuary and in Maxwell Hall. For the most up-to-date information on the construction, relocation, and service locations, visit mumconline.com or like us on Facebook at facebook.com/601CentreStreet.
