Looking ahead . . .

Swift Church offers children’s church (grades K–4) during the 10:00 service after “Time with the children.” It normally is offered each Sunday except for communion Sundays. It is on seasonal break and will resume in September.

B ecause God is with you all the time,
no place is any closer to God
than the place where you are right now.
