On November 1, we’ll “fall back” one hour for the seasonal time change, so don’t forget to adjust your clocks!
We’re also moving our second service start time to 10:45 AM CST to allow more time between services for Journey Kids and parking turnover while giving everyone a little more time to connect and fellowship without feeling rushed. This new time isn’t just for November 1 – it will continue for following Sundays!
We’re blessed to call you family! Enjoy the autumn weather, get some extra rest, and we’ll see you Sunday, November 1, at 9:00 AM or 10:45 AM CST!
