Worship Sneak Peek
September 4, 2022 at 10:00 am
Join us this Sunday in person or online at 10:00 am. For many summer holidays we are reminded that it's not just about picnics and a "day off," but Labor Day is the fruit of a movement that's goal was to make life more about being able to enjoy things like a picnic. How might a practice of Sabbath invite us into observing a Spiritual Labor Day?
Reminder: We have resumed in-person worship and continue to live-stream the service on our website and YouTube channel.
Do you want to be more involved with our Church's mission and programs? The Nominations Committee has many opportunities to get involved. Please speak with Pastor Cam or Barbara Roguski if you are interested in learning more.
