Ingathering Sunday is a time to come home; it’s a time to get ready for another amazing year of church! It is a time to welcome newcomers and see old friends. Weather permitting we will once again begin outside and march into the sanctuary to celebrate the start of our new church year together with Water Communion. We will also take time to introduce Jaimie Dingus, our new student minister! We will close our day back outside with bouncy houses, an ice cream social and a blessing of the backpacks! It will another great Sunday, and we can’t wait to see you there!
