Tonight is Beer and Hymns with our siblings in Christ from Church of Our Saviour at Union Coffee Co. in Milford. You are invited to accompany Pastor Karl (and about a dozen of our hymnals to augment our music selection) for a few hours of music and fellowship. The event runs 6:00-8:00.

We hope to see you all there. Bring friends and family. Bring nicely behaving pets as well. Mel, aka Melanchthon, would love to visit with your furred, finned, four-footed and beaked family members.

Happy Birthday Church!!! May the whimsy of the Holy Spirit blow through your day and fill you with joy!
