Church Softball Team Forming!

 

We are in the process of forming a Co-ed Church Softball team to play over the coming autumn.  Rosters need to be in by mid-August, so if you’re interested please contact Cara Garretson at 301-527-8587 or cgarretson@starpower.net.

 

(PS – We’ll also be forming a co-ed volleyball team to begin play after the first of the year!)

STAINED GLASS WINDOWS

 

All have surely noticed that about a third of our stained glass windows have been removed from our Sanctuary over the summer months for renovation.  We may be getting several of the windows back to us fully renovated and re-installed in the coming fall!  More windows will be removed from the Sanctuary for renovation as time passes.  Hopefully the entire renovation project will be concluded in the coming year.

 

Thanks to all who were so generous in support of the Pledge Drive that made this renovation possible!
