Annual "Sunday in the Park" Worship
Come join us for worship and enjoy fellowship in the Odebolt Park on Sunday, June 30th at 10:00 a.m.  We'll enjoy the beautiful outdoors, sing along with the choir of birdsong, and take in the warmth of the sunshine as we gather near the enclosed shelter house area.  We suggest you bring your lawn chair and a dish to share for the midday potluck meal to follow.  Beverages will be provided; bring your own plates and tableware.  We plan for some fun traditional games afterwards.  All are welcome to join us for our annual Sunday in the Park worship.  Should weather not permit, we will be transferring to the First Presbyterian Church building.
