Time for a change at Swift
|

|
 |
|
|
Starting Oct. 6, an hour later —
Sunday school at 9, worship at 10
The session met on Sept. 16 and reviewed the requested input from the congregation on moving the Sunday school and worship times forward to 9 and 10 a.m. respectively. The overwhelming majority of responses that we received were in favor of the change, so the session approved the new schedule, effective Oct. 6.
