NEWS & NOTICES

Our SUMMER BEACH SERVICE is back! 
Join us for a beautiful morning worship service at Sandy Beach, Sundays at 7:00 a.m. [weather permitting]. A Family Service is also offered at 9:00 a.m., at the church, and is accompanied by the choir.

Our love and condolences to Margot...
We pray in thanksgiving for the life of Margot's mother, Margaret Erskine Dunlap (Maggie), who was born into new life in Christ on June 4. She was comfortable and surrounded by her loved ones.

An adoring parish congratulates Marilyn and Richard Wittrup on their 60th Wedding Anniversary!

Blessings and a very HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY to Robin Eaton! Her granddaughter, Cathy Roberts, gave us all a gift by singing Mozart's, "Laudate Dominum," at our June 7 service. Enjoy it again here, by clicking the play arrow below.  Thank you Cathy!



Colette leaves for her new ministry in August. Hear about it in Rev. Margot's sermon [May 17]. Sing with us to "Here I am Lord" [Hymn 812], dedicated to Colette.

Our choir is INSPIRED by music director, Dr. John Whiteside!  If you've ever thought of joining the choir, then now's a great time. E-mail John for more info.

Singing can lower your blood pressure and improve your mood. So sing out LOUD to some of our favorite hymns, recorded at Sunday worship services.
