The Big Questions
Children in 4th grade and up attend this special service! Regular classes offered for children in 3rd grade and younger.
This Sunday is our annual youth-led worship. Our youth will take on the spiritual imperative of racial justice. They will be talking about their experience marching across the bridge in Selma, driving without a license, and asking where do we go from here. This is always a lively and spirited worship service. This Sunday, we also recognize our seniors who will be crossing the threshold into adulthood, whether starting a new job, or going to college. Don't miss it!
