The minister's summer services will be a series of "Tell Me More". This day's was "Tell Me More about the Bible."

The New Testament has Mark's story of Christ, his birth, life and crucifixion. There are also the other disciples' stories and the writings about Paul and St. John, as well as Paul's various epistles. Rev. Ross closed the service with prayer of thanks and concern followed by The Lord's Prayer in unison. Collection was received by Peter De Groot and Douglas McClinchey.
