Flowers

Flowers on the altar for Sept. 5 were given in celebration of their son, Gene, for his birthday, by Linda and Billy Joe Groom.

To arrange to provide flowers for Sunday worship or to give a donation in lieu of flowers, contact Brenda Earley (410-867-0953).

Choral Speaking

Try something new! Choral speaking is not quite singing and not quite acting; it's a group experience different from all others. Come join us Sept. 8 and 15, 6-7 p.m. You must commit to attend both days. Contact Pastor Mernie (410-867-2048) for more information.
