This week at First Church - September 9-15
fcbadultprograms
Welcome back from our summer respite. I apologize for the delay in sending out our weekly announcements but we are in the process of changing both the format and the mechanism by which we communicate. For the next few weeks we will continue to use google groups and will notify you when we change to a different system.
Thanks for your patience.
Lillian
