Join us for a Coming of Age service, a culmination of a year of reflection for our teens on where they come from, who they’re becoming, and what they believe. Benny Luglio and Lottie McNulty will share personal belief statements with the congregation, and the congregation will celebrate this faith milestone for our youth.
