Sept. 9, 2018 – Worship and Indoor “Picnic”

As a kickoff to the church year, an All-Church Picnic/Potluck was planned after the 11 a.m. worship service on Sept. 9, 2018. However, because of the cool and damp weather, the picnic was moved indoors. The sanctuary approached capacity for both the worship service and the picnic.

The photos in the slideshow below from the 11 a.m. service and indoor picnic were taken by Steve Scott. Click the arrows to see the next or previous photos.
