Sunday Worship

Sunday, July 31 @ 11:00 AM

Pastor Alyssa Baker will share a message with us in worship this Sunday. Laurel Wells will be leading us as liturgist with Judie H. and the Choir providing music. Please remember we are still wearing masks while singing together. This is currently a rule throughout all of the Open Door Churches. We also silence cell phones during the service.

May your presence in worship this week (either in person or online) be a time of peaceful reflection and renewal, joy and comfort. We hope you can join us in person but, if not, click the link below to view this week's Open Door Churches video.
