July’s Collection - Roanoke Nursing Home

Wednesday 7/13 - Wednesday Evening Family Night - Supper will begin at 6:30.  Because of the current setup at the fellowship hall, we will be eating in the church lunch room.  Families will eat upon arrival to the church, and then proceed to the fellowship hall for the Bible Class presentation, which will begin at 7:15.  Please use the northwest doors to enter and exit the church, and please use caution when driving in the parking lot. 

Sunday 7/17 - Start of Church Lunch - Although we cannot use the sanctuary at this time, the dining room is available.  After the 9:30 service at the fellowship hall, church lunch will be served in the dining room followed by a 2nd service at the fellowship hall.  We will attempt to maintain the same schedule as in the past while moving between the fellowship hall and the church. We ask for your patience during the next week or two until we are back in the assembly room.
