Wednesday’s with the Peanuts

August 12 – September 16, 20208 Sessions Beginning Wednesday August 12th, Russ will post a weekly video study using the book “The Gospel According to the Peanuts” by Robert L. Short.

Let’s Stay Connected

During these days of social isolation when the congregation is not together on Sunday morning or Wednesday evening, one of the things that I have missed is the opportunity to catch up for a few minutes with various members of the congregation. So often when we were all together, we could interface with others, asking questions such as “how are you doing, what’s new, how is your garden this year, how is your daughter and family in Texas, how’s your…
