Worship services, the heart of our gathering as a community of faith, are held every Sunday at 10:30 am. We come together to sing, pray, support and sustain each other while grappling with our greatest joys and our deepest fears. We question together; we learn together; we grow together.
Children and youth begin in the sanctuary every week and (most Sundays) after music and a family homily, our young people leave the sanctuary for Religious Education classes downstairs. Childcare is provided for our youngest children. We gather for community and refreshment following the service, about 11:30 am. Our coffee hours are amazing! Please join us! During the course of the year, two-thirds of our services are led by our Minister, Beau Rivers. The remaining services are led by visiting ministers, congregants, or guest speakers. *Hearing assistance headphones are available for use during the service. Please indicate your need to an usher. |
