Below is a list of events, programs, and other resources available this summer!
Frozen Casseroles from our kitchen
Our kitchen staff is offering a variety of frozen casserole and soups for purchase and pick-up this summer! Come by anytime on Monday-Thursday from 9:00am-2:00pm to pick one up.
Sundays in July
It's summer, and Sundays in July at Second look a little different!
On Sunday, July 6, we’ll only have one morning worship service at 8:15am (nursery available for ages 5 and under). During the Sunday School hour, our regular adult, youth, and children’s Sunday School classes will not meet, and the nursery will close. Instead, everyone will gather in parish groups from 9:45-10:45 for a special time of relaxed fellowship and service. We’ll complete the Lord’s Day with evening worship at 6:00. Learn more and see where your parish will meet.
On July 13, 20, and 27, during our July Sunday School Series, all adults will meet together in the Fellowship Hall during the Sunday School hour for three weeks of teaching and testimonies on the theme of "On Mission: Following in the Footsteps of Jesus." Each week will have a different topic and featured voices from our church family. View each week's topic and featured voices.
