A big Thanks to all who helped move items out of the PYC on Sunday!

Christmas is Over

Yes, Christmas is over. Last night we finally took down all of the decorations in the sanctuary. Thanks to all who helped! Things are looking pretty sparse on the walls right now, but we do have some things in the works. More on that later. Stepping out into the new year is just like this: taking down that which is behind us, taking the blank walls and creating something beautiful. In the new year, may God continue to create in us and through us many place of beauty.
