Rally Day Kickoff

Rally DayRally Day will be held Sunday, August 24. Rally Day is the kickoff to the new Sunday school year and a special celebration. We invite and encourage the whole congregation to gather together as one body in Fellowship Hall. Reacquaint yourself with old friends, tell a few stories from the summer, and introduce yourself to those you haven’t met before or that might be new to our church. NO early service as Rally Day is the break and transition from our summer Chapel Worship: Prayer and Communion back to our school year early service, Chapel Worship: Font & Table which begins at 8:45am Sunday, August 31. There will NOT be normal Sunday school for the adults and youth and a shortened welcome version for elementary children and younger as they move up to their next class by grade or age.

The schedule for Rally Day is as follows:
