Congregational Meeting
Just a reminder that we’ll be having a congregational meeting after worship this Sunday morning. The purpose of this meeting is to receive annual reports, learn about the Council goals for 2014, and get an update from the Search Committee on the status of our search for a new pastor, so please join us. As noted in the previous blog post, the reports can be found online at http://www.graceucclancaster.org/doc/2013CompleteAnnualReport.pdf.
