We voted to take Guy and Shaun Wilson and Dick Ayers into membership on 11/26. They have completed the New Members Class and been examined by Session members. We are always excited to have new members! Ida Williams has been working on a new church website. She presented it to the Session and it is very user friendly and well done.
