We’re celebrating the diverse cultures in our community and our church family! Join us on Sunday, February 19 for an “International Potluck” meal in the Atrium after church. Bring a dish to share – something from your culture, your heritage — whether it’s from another part of the U.S. or another country in the world! Write the name of the dish and the origin on a small index card for others to learn about it. Church is at 10:30 am — the potluck will begin immediately after.
