"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar.

We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.

We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and

reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs,
hurts, joys, and interests."

Compassion Team Meeting

There will be a Compassion Team Meeting on Tuesday, February 25, 2020, at 6:00 p.m. at the church.

Anyone interested in this ministry is welcome to attend!

We will begin our observance of a holy Lent with Ash Wednesday Services on February 26. Imposition of Ashes will be offered at 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. In the event that you are home bound and cannot make it to either of those services, Father Scott will be available to deliver ashes between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. Please contact the church office to schedule.
