Looking Ahead
Baptisms of Corin Groenewold and Lucas Thongkumthamachart
Next Sunday, 28 August, during the morning worship service, Corin Groenewold and Lucas Thongkumthamachart will be baptized.
The ladies held a baby shower for Donna earlier in the summer, and a “baby sprinkle” is being organized for Tessa. If you wish to contribute to a group gift for the Groenewold family “sprinkle,” please see Joy Loh. She can accept gifts via Venmo, PayPal, or cash.
Please join us in the outdoor tent area next week after the morning worship service to celebrate these baptisms with the Groenewold and Thongkumthamachart families.
