This past Sunday, February 21, there were over 200 in attendance, counting guests, at our  Special Business Meeting.  There was a good spirit and healthy discussion which lead to the following conclusion by a 76% positive vote (140/184). “We will change our Sunday Morning Schedule to be 8:00 AM Traditional Worship, 9:15 AM Sunday Bible School, and 10:30 AM Contemporary Worship.”  This change will be implemented sometime after Resurrection Sunday, when logistics are worked out with our music, nursery, SBS, ushers and other support ministries.  Please continue to pray  that we move forward together in “the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace”, being mindful of the personal adjustment this change causes for some.
