World Communion Worship Info 10.5.25

 Dear Friends-

We will meet for worship to celebrate World Communion at the United Methodist Church at 10AM Pacific time on Sunday, October 5.  We will be joined by First Christian, St. Peter's Episcopal, Hub City Church, and Zion Lutheran.  Deacon Linda Hale from St. Peter's will share the message.

If you wish to watch the live stream, here is the YouTube link.  If possible, we will see if we can share it over to the FPC's page when it starts.  

Blessings,

Keith and Laura
