The flowers at the front of the sanctuary were donated by Olive Hill in memory of Marjorie Draper, who died last Sunday. Her funeral service was held at Wentland’s Funeral Home on Friday.

Get the most out of the services by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help. If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
