Attention ALL AGES:
Please REGISTER for Religious Education!
As you may have heard, our congregation is switching to a new database. So at this time, we are asking everyone interested in religious education to register, whatever your age or life stage, and whether or not you anticipate enrolling in a program any time soon. We’ve tried to make this as easy as possible! All you have to do is click this link and fill out the information for our database. When you register you'll also receive a Patron Account for our RE Library, and you'll have the option of signing up for our Newsletter without needing to fill out an additional form! And, to make it more fun, anyone who registers by January 1 will receive a special gift in January 2022!

Beware Email Fraud
Our ministers, staff, lay leaders, and board members will never send you email asking you for any money besides your pledge payment! This also means they will never use email to ask you to buy gift cards for them or anyone else.
