Presentation of Bibles

During worship on February 1st, we will offer the rite of Presentation of Bibles for children in first grade and their parents/guardians. This is done to

facilitate the baptismal promises made: “to place in their hands the holy scriptures.” If you would like to

participate, please let Pastor Kat know by January 11.
