Friday Family Fun Night Games Night July 27 6-9pm HPC Night at the HOPS Friday, August 24 7:05pm Cost: $15 Parking $5 per vehicle. Did you notice the extra pictures (icons) in the bulletin today? There was a very interesting article in the June 21st issue of Presbyterians Today about people with autism spectrum disorder. By simply adding an icon to each part of the service, it indicates what to do and makes the service easier to follow. Not only does this benefit those on the autism spectrum, but can also benefit those that are pre-readers, new worshippers, and English language learners to name a few. A step towards making our worship more intergenerational.
