On Sunday, March 24, we welcomed the Rt. Rev. Susan E. Goff. Bishop Goff preached at the 7:45 am, 9 am, and 11:15 am services. She also led a discussion at our morning Adult Forum. Additionally, she presided over confirmations, receptions, and reaffirmations at our 11:15 am service. Overall, we had 26 confirmations, receptions, and reaffirmations.
