Library News
Thanks to the faithful recommendations of our readers — and the generosity of others who cleaned their bookshelves — our church library continues to grow! We are deeply grateful for each donation and the way it blesses our congregation.
As a new school year begins, we especially want to encourage parents to bring their children to the library. There are many wonderful supplemental books available for their enjoyment and practice. If you’d like suggestions, I’ll be happy to help you find the right ones.
Library Hours:
The church library is open every Sunday morning before and after the worship service. If you visit at another time during the week, please remember to sign out your selection on the green sheet located on the counter.
Overdue Books:
If you have books that are overdue, we kindly ask you to check your shelves at home and return them as soon as possible so others may also benefit from them.
