Upcoming Worship Services

Due to the pandemic, our building is open according to our reopening guidelines while our church is fully open online. We invite you to join us for worship via Zoom at 10:30 each Sunday morning. Sign in a few minutes early for casual conversation with everyone else who has already signed in – a welcoming bunch – and you are welcome to stay after the service for a social hour in random break-out groups. Long-time members and visitors alike enjoy getting to know new people in this way.

Most weeks, use the Zoom information below. However, sometimes we “visit” another congregation and use their Zoom link, which will be included in that week’s service description.We also live-stream most of our services directly to our Facebook Page, where they remain available for several hours after, and a few days later, recordings are added to our YouTube channel.
