Last Week
Thank you to Pastor Halaas for providing a cozy worship-from-home-via-Facebook experience last Sunday! It just wasn't safe to be out on the roads after the snowy and blizzardy days we had so it was nice to have the technology which allowed us go to Plan B! We also had the pleasure of guest appearances from Bishop Lorna and Snoopy!
This Week
Pastor Joy will be in the Chapel at the PUCC at 11:15. Kay Allen will assist with Communion and Dawn Richards will accompany us on piano. Let Kay Michaelson know if you would like to read Scripture on Sunday.
Warm up with a cup of coffee at 10:15 Sunday morning in Room 103 and join in the Faith + Fellowship discussion of the Gospel lesson for the day to prepare you for worship at 11:15!
Kay Michaelson will provide treats on Sunday.
