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.

Advent 2018
Our Advent theme this year is "Faces at the Manger"
The Season of Advent points us toward the miracle of incarnation.  In a dark time, Jesus was born among his people.  Even now, we shine a light of hope and peace into the darkness of the world as we anticipate his return.  Join us for this year’s Advent theme “Faces at the Manger.”  We hope you will participate in many of the Advent offerings as we celebrate this holy season.

First Sunday of Advent ~ December 2
Second Sunday of Advent ~ December 9
Third Sunday of Advent ~ December 16
Fourth Sunday of Advent ~ December 23

 News & Events ​
Stewardship and Finance Update
As we approach the end of the calendar year, the Finance Committee is working hard to develop our budget plans for the coming year. Based on giving patterns from this year as well as tallying up the pledges we have received to date, we may be looking at a 4 to 5% decrease in our overall budget for 2019. We are hopeful, however, that the gap can be closed by folks who have not yet turned in a pledge form and by others who are able to offer a bit more in pledge or giving. 

If you have not made your pledge for next year, we would so appreciate hearing from you. As always, we will develop a balanced budget so that our local family can always be strong in love and our global reach can be generous and wide, sharing the grace of Jesus Christ.

How You Can Pledge
If you don't have a pledge card you may pick one up in the Sanctuary or the Church Office. You can also call the Church Office and we will mail one to you. You may return your pledge card at your earliest convenience by mail or to the Church Office or contact Michelle Fortin, our Financial Administrator, and give her your pledge information.
You may also now complete a pledge online - click here to go to our web page to complete the form online.

Thank you for your support!

You can now make your pledge online!  Click here to go to the online pledge form.  This submission goes directly to the Financial Administrator.
