During July and August we will be re-learning (or learning) the Light of Christ liturgy. Everyone likes something familiar while they are learning something new, so you are invited to place a hymn request in the offering plates during June and July. Pastor Betty will do her best to include your request during our worship services in July and August. Preference will be given to those hymns we have not sung in a while. One request per person, please.
