Sunday June 5th

Pentecost-Can You Hear It?

This Sunday is Pentecost, a day we especially think about the Spirit of God coming upon those early believers. It was like tongues of fire or a rushing wind. Something happened that changed their lives. We sometimes wonder where we see the Spirit of God in our world. This week we'll wonder about how we hear the Spirit of God. Hmmm... can you hear it?

 Watch Sunday's Service Online, Live @ 9:00 AM EDT

Join us in live, online worship this Sunday at 9:00 am. 

You can find the service on Facebook Live or on our YouTube channel.

The service will be saved at both locations through the week.  

 Join us for In-Person Worship @ 10:00 AM



Email Jenny Morrison if you would like to join our volunteer team and

help us provide a safe and warm welcome to all who gather.

Pro tip: Arrive before 9:50 am to enjoy a warm beverage and cookie at your seat!

The members of the executive have come to the decision that we are now able to lift  the mask mandate in the church.  Individuals and families are asked to do what feels most comfortable for them to participate fully in worship. You are welcome to wear a mask if that is what you require to feel safe. 

We ask that you only come to worship in person or other events at the church in if you are healthy. Please make sure you self screen for symptoms before you arrive.  Let us continue to take care of each other and the wider community.

Youth and Young Families

We'll gather at in the Sanctuary to watch Turning Red.  This movie from 2022 invites us to think about how we manage all of our BIG feelings.

Pajamas, blankets, and stuffed animals are always welcome!

For more information about youth and young families events, contact Jen Auger.

Your Gift of $25 will provide one hygiene package

Your Gift of $38 will provide one food basket

Your Gift of $40 will provide one hygiene package
