Sat 7/17: Mantua Historical Society Flea Market & SMILE Team Bake Sale 9:30am-1:30pm
Sun 7/18: 9:30am Worship in the Sanctuary, On the Lawn, and/or on YouTube Live

On August 15th, we will have a special presentation during the worship service during the time for the sermon. We would like to follow up on the Living the Resurrection theme introduced after Easter.

We would like 3 people from the congregation who would be willing to speak for about 5 minutes each about an
experience they had related to living the resurrection (it can come from the jar suggestions or not) – something that moved them, changed them, or was rewarding. If you feel so moved to participate, please contact Joy Wyatt via text/call at 216-870-8290 or email at [email protected].

We are SO BLESSED that we can offer three options to gather together for worship on Sunday. You may choose:

1. inside the church,
2. outside on the lawn (listen),
3. YouTube live

Whichever way you decide to worship, we wish you a very blessed and meaningful service.
If you have any questions, please contact Jon Secaur, Gathering Team Chair, at: [email protected]
