Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher.

This morning we welcome Tony Barone to our pulpit. No stranger to our congregation, Mr. Barone has served for a number of years as chaplain for the Buffalo City Mission. Now retired, he continues to serve area churches. Let’s give him our full attention as he brings a message from God’s word.
