Celebrating 132 Years!
We bring you greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! The Homecoming Committee is excited to host the 132nd anniversary this year! This year’s theme is “Expanding Our Reach: Reaching Up, Down, Out, In and Over.”
This year’s Anniversary/Homecoming colors are pink (in honor of breast cancer awareness month), along with accents of black and white. We have an exciting Homecoming lineup planned this year that includes volunteerism, fundraising, and of course fellowship! See our slate of homecoming happenings below:
