      Holy Communion is Celebrated the First Sunday of the Month
             At the communion table we forsake our petty grievances against one another
​and remember all that Christ has forgiven us. 
             We examine our hearts, forsake our guilt, and receive the mercy that the atoning blood offers us.
             We stand united as Jesus’ Body, forgiven sinners, loving one another, with 
     gratitude for all Jesus did for us.
           Introducing Reverend Gary & Mrs. Karen Marshall
​
       The Reverend Gary A. Marshall was installed as our pastor on Sunday, April 30, 2017.  

​       Mrs. Karen Marshall serves as our Director of Music.
