WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IN-PERSON SERVICES
Our In-Person Sunday Services are live streamed. Reservations are required.
Taping begins promptly at 10:00 am. For those planning to attend in person, we ask that you arrive 15 minutes before services . We will be taking prayer requests and offering those prayers PRIOR to the recording of our service.
Attendees, please remember you may be on the live stream and tape posted on the internet.
Visit Worship at Home to view these live services from home. They are also posted to Facebook and YouTube. |

Shepherd U. is back, and we had a GREAT kick-off on Palm Sunday! We will meet upstairs weekly at 10:00 am, during the worship service hour.

Let's Do a Puzzle Together! |
We have started a 300-piece puzzle in the Library here at church. The next time you are here, stop by, fill in a piece or two and sign your name so we know who contributed to the fun. When it's completed, we will let you know who participated, and then we'll do another!
Feel free to take a puzzle home to make. Return it when you're done, or pass it along to someone else.

Join us as we work to help
Save the Earth!
While we all have been doing things over the years to help the Environment ourselves, it is now time to see how we – as a congregation – can make a concerted effort to make the Environment a foundational mission of the church.
|
We are in the process of forming two action committees
- one to deal with our own church and its Environmental impact and
- one to deal with our community and its Environmental impact.
Please join us and be a member of either – or both – of our Environmental Action committees! Our first meeting is by Zoom on Monday, April 12 at
7 pm. Call the church office or Sally Cope if you would like to attend. If you cannot make the first meeting let the church office know that you would like to be on our notification list.
