Answer

Bring yourself and be ready to celebrate! If you plan to celebrate with a drink from the bar Saturday evening, please bring a valid ID. For Sunday morning, be sure to bring something to cover your shoulders. Shoes are not allowed in the worship hall, so feel free to bring socks if you prefer not to be barefoot.
