Update from the Moderator
Dear Members and Friends of Lyonsville Congregational U.C.C..
At the last leadership council meeting on February 21, we revisited the timeline for worship services this spring. Previously, it was presented at the October congregational meeting that Sunday, April 16 would be the final worship service in the chapel. It was decided by the leadership council that weekly worship services will continue after Sunday, April 16 until our dissolution service on Sunday, May 21, 2023. We continue to be blessed for the individuals who plan our worship services and we hope you can join us.
Blessings,
Sanna Bashor
