Hello! It seems like just a few days ago that we were in the midst of a very busy Vacation Bible School! Our theme this year was “On the Case,” and here at Lowhill we’ve certainly been “on the case” this Fall! Our new children’s program is thriving, our Confirmation class meets each week, and we’re launching a new adult option during the 9AM Sunday School hour. We’ve also been very active with outreach, fellowship, stewardship, and worship. Our dedicated volunteers continue to do an outstanding job, and our worship times together have been meaningful and uplifting. Thank you to all who helped with all of the ministry and outreach activities of the past few weeks! You make a difference!
We have a lot of news to share as 2022 comes to an end, and we hope you can join us for worship, fellowship, and building community together as we seek to walk with Jesus!
