As a family of faith for every season of life, it is our desire to continue to foster opportunities to build relationships within our congregation as well as to welcome visitors. With that purpose in mind, we will be reinstating Family of Faith Greeters on Sunday mornings. As in the past, we will create a schedule in which everyone or every family will be assigned a Sunday to greet those who come to worship with us.  Please see the insert in your mailbox for more details and a follow-up schedule will be added in a few weeks.
