Sunday, June 16th

This Sunday June 16th:  11:00 Worship:  The idea of sharing wisdom is as old as it gets in the bible.  As her last sermon at West Tokyo Union Church, Susan will share some wisdom from Proverbs and from her own life and ministry.

SUNDAY SCHOOL is on Vacation until the fall.  Feel free to have children take books from the children’s library cabinet, or bring coloring materials.  We enjoy our children just as they are.
