Welcome to our Congregation and our Worship! 

We believe that Jesus Christ came to reveal the fullness of God's love for us, and we continue to celebrate that love through praise, sacraments, service, and community.

“Mary and Elizabeth” a new one-act musical by Jerry Sawyer with music by Ned Wetherald will be presented for the first time! The story of Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth is often recounted early in the Advent Season. This retelling adds some details and, of course, music to the familiar Bible story.

Advent 2018 ~ Faces at the Manger
 Our Advent Theme this year is “Faces at The Manger.”
Each week during Advent you will see a new PHOTO MOSAIC at the front of the sanctuary, of a face that would have been at the manger for the birth of Christ.
 
That mosaic will be made up of ALL OF OUR FACES!
 
In order to do this, we have set up a photo booth area in the Social Hall that will be open and staffed for the remaining Sundays in November. Grab a friend or a family member and go get your picture taken please! Not only will we post your individual picture on a board in the Social Hall, but your photo will be incorporated into the PHOTO MOSAIC we will make for each Sunday of Advent!
 
JOIN IN THE FUN starting this Sunday in the Social Hall between services!
