SUNDAY SCHOOL AND
BIBLE CLASS will
resume the Sunday after Labor Day, September 9.
The Board of Elders, due to numerous requests, have decided to keep our
Sunday service at 9 AM, and have Sunday School and Bible Class afterward, at
10:15 AM on a 3-month trial basis, after which time it will be evaluated to see
if it should continue.
SUNDAY SCHOOL will kick off on Sunday, September

still in need of more teachers. Please
give prayerful consideration to helping with this part of our ministry. Persons may contact superintendent Matt Riley
at 605-454-4448 or matt.riley2@gmail,com.
