BACK-TO-SCHOOL HOT DOG BBQ & ICE CREAM SOCIAL – Sunday, Sep 24, 11:30am – Fellowship Hall – Our annual back-to-school event is going to be a blast!

FAREWELL CARLY – This week we say good-bye to one of our long time members and consistent volunteers, Carly Ortiz-Lytle. Carly is leaving us to continue her education at UC Davis. During the past few years, Carly has participated in the youth and children’s programs as both a leader and a Sunday school teacher; she is on the Staff Parish Relations Committee; and she attended Annual Conference as a delegate earlier this year. She has stepped up to the task each time she was asked. We’ll miss Carly while she’s away. We wish her all the best and much success as she takes on each new challenge.
