Brunch Church – January 28

Come downstairs for breakfast this Sunday, January 28, at 10 AM. You can bring something to share for the potluck (if it needs to be cut or prepared in any way before eating, please try to do that before coming to church to help our volunteers Sunday morning). You do not need to bring anything to the potluck to join in, unless you want to! There is always plenty to go around.

She will be sharing some of the reflections of her book at Brunch Church. If you’re interested in ordering a copy for yourself, go to www.thepilgrimpress.com.
