Join Us for Worship — In Person or Online You’re invited to worship with us each Sunday at 10:30 AM either in person at 10 Higby Road in Utica or online via Zoom. Arrive at the church or log in a few minutes early to say hello — it’s a friendly, welcoming crowd — and stay afterward for our informal in-person social hour held in our sanctuary directly after the service.

In a world that gives us plenty of … Continue reading Like a Child – Reclaiming Trust, Honesty, Joy, and Wonder
