Join the Fun
A campfire attracts people, provides warmth, is a place where people tell their stories and often creates a sense of instant community and camaraderie.
This week, we will do service in the round - around the campfire.* We have invited folks to share in some fun campfire tales and will break up the service like a traditional camp fire. We hope you will join in the fun!
