IN-PERSON WORSHIP
This Sunday's worship services will be held inside in our sanctuary at 9am and 11am.
Masks are optional (except for children ages 2-4 and volunteers working with children ages 4 and under). There will be a marked "masks required" section in the front right of the sanctuary for those who don't wish to sit with unmasked attendees.
ONLINE WORSHIP
You can join us virtually via our live-streamed services at 9am and 11am on YouTube, or watch the service later, beginning on Sunday afternoon.
This Worship Resource Page serves as a companion to the online worship service and includes song lyrics and sermon scripture.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Newborn-Preschool: Class is available during services. Upon drop-off, parent/guardian and children will receive wristbands with matching numbers. Parents will supply their wristband to pick up their child at the conclusion of the service.
Kindergarten - Grade 5: Class is available during both services. Children in this age group will begin in the sanctuary for worship with their parent/guardian and will be dismissed to the CE Room after the Congregational Prayer.
Grades 6-12: All youth will begin in the sanctuary for worship with their parent/guardian and will be dismissed to the Large Youth Room after the Congregational Prayer.
