Welcome to Locust Grove!
We’re glad to have you join us for our time of worship together. If you haven’t already attended, we would
love to have you also join us for Sunday school next Sunday. Sunday school is an important step in making
further connections with a smaller group of people. Ask for help if you have any questions or
need more information about our church.
