The Grove Sunday Bulletin

November 2, 2025

On Sunday mornings, we gather together at 10:00am for a time of worship that involves singing together, preaching God's Word, and a time of remembrance through communion. The gathering of the church is not limited to our four walls. If you can’t join us in person, we’d love for you to tune in online!
