We stand as a mighty tree in our community:
Strong and rooted,
Soaring and reaching,
Vibrant and fruitful,
Sheltering and comforting.

Please Enter the Sanctuary 

through the Double Doors

in the 

Fellowship Area.



You might notice during the month of January we will be going back to some of our "pre-covid" ways of doing things. The first change you will see is we will be entering the Sanctuary through the double doors that lead to the fellowship area. This will enable those who would like to have some "quiet time" before the Worship Service to enter the Sanctuary, while those of us who like visit to do so in the Fellowship Area.
