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.

Internal Security System in Operation
A new year of Stay and Play Preschool is underway - and that means the internal security system will be in use each weekday from 9:00 am - 2:30 pm during Stay and Play hours. This only affects internal doors in the education wing of the building. The system is not locking any external doors. HOWEVER, to get to the main church office without needing to be granted access through a locked door, one should go through the Fraser Street entrance of the Sanctuary and down the hallway on the main floor to the office. No doorways between the sanctuary and the office will be locked on that floor. We will eventually use this security system for additional church functions/purposes.
Women’s Group(s) Forming
Mary Boutselis and Mary Jane Kistler will be offering scripture-based, ongoing women’s groups beginning in late September. The intention is to offer space for reflection, attentive listening and sharing, and to foster community.  The group(s) will use scripture to attend to how God is speaking through the everyday events of our lives.

Depending upon interest, a daytime and/or evening group may be offered. Mondays 7:00-8:30 pm and/or Tuesday 1:00-2:30 pm are the suggested group times. We anticipate meeting every other week initially and then move to meeting monthly.

If you are interested, please call the office (238-2422) and indicate your preferred meeting day/time. Any questions…please contact Mary at marybouts@gmail.com (814)883-4225 or Mary Jane at mkistler1983@gmail.com (814)571-6600.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your path.”   Proverbs 3:5-6
