Tower Notes – June 2018

By

 

Apologies for the late post for June’s Tower Notes: so here are some things you may have missed:

Starting May 29th, we started our summer office hours: Monday-Friday from 9am-2pm.

We celebrated our graduates on June 3rd with Marc Middleton, our Youth Director, preaching that Sunday; which was followed by a delicious strawberry brunch sponsored by our Missions Committee.

Sunday School officially ended for the summer on June 10th; we will start Sunday School again on September 9th.

We’ve started a Summer Bible Study on the book: Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight In Our Busy Lives and we’ve started a Grief Support Group, which meets the 1st Thursday of every month starting in June.

Tons of other information located within: June 2018 (without Calendar)
