First Arrival
When you first arrive, look for the New Here? section of our Get Connected Wall located just outside our sanctuary. It has general information about our church and a little gift package for you to take home. If you’ve brought kids with you, you’ll want to get them checked in before entering the sanctuary (though kids are always welcome in worship).
