Childcare

Sundays, 9:30-*1:00pm

Diane Keller, Hans Elsevier, and Salma Nasser welcome children every Sunday. We offer a safe, loving environment where our youngest build community and play outside when weather permits. After worship, please pick up your child(ren) before attending coffee hour.

Families who remain in worship are invited to make use of the family area. Please sit near your children and help tidy up after service.

*This Sunday, childcare will be extended to 1:00pm for the RE Family Lunch Meeting.

Worship

We Begin Again in Love ~ Rev. Danielle Lindstrom

10:00am in the Sanctuary and On Zoom

Through ritual, story, and music in worship, we explore together themes that inform our faith, challenge us to go deeper, and call us to action with love at the center. We hope you find care, support, love, and community here. Each service is a little different. The one thing that never changes: it is good to be together.
