A Warm Welcome for Ginny!

We would like to extend a warm welcome to Rev. Ginny Slawnwhite, who has become our minister in residence and part of our church family. She is also the chaplain of the All Faith's Chapel at the Rockingham County Nursing Home. We are glad to have you with us, Ginny!

Memorial Flowers for Easter

As is our tradition, the church will have memorial flowers to decorate the sanctuary on Easter morning. If anyone would like their name on the Easter memorial list, they need to call Jodi (895-2362) or e-mail her (cong_church@myfairpoint.net) before Sunday March 28th. The flower committee will be accepting plants on Saturday, April 3rd from 10:00-11:00 AM, or people may bring the flowers on Easter morning early before the service begins.

Thank you for your contribution!
