12:55 p.m.
Dismissal and cleanup.
The
entire service (lunch and message by the Lay Speaker) takes place in the
Host Church's
fellowship hall. The cleanup of tables takes place after the
service ends. Free will offering is received during the meal to help Host
Church defray any expenses. The above time schedule is approximate. We must
conclude by 12:55 p.m. in order to
allow those attending on their lunch hour time to
get back to work. All cluster churches
and the community are invited. This is
a good way for our people to have
fellowship together and to mark the season of Lent with weekly
worship as we journey towards Holy Week and Easter.
