Sabbath Services

Aside

Greetings,

Due to so many people being with family on the 4th of July we won’t be having services at the IBEW Hall.  We will be watching the Live Broadcast in our homes. Our regular potluck will be moved to another date which will be announced at another time and will be posted on our “News Blog”.

We will see everyone again on the 11th of July. Have a safe 4th of July! Be sure to watch “Independence Day” by Wayne Hendrix about the History of where Independence Day came from which will be posted on July 3rd.

David, Elder
