Second Sunday After Epiphany

At 10 o’clock worship:

“Read the Room”

Rev. Ben Robbins

Last Sunday's Service

The Annual Congregational Meeting will be held after the service of Jan 28. The reports will be available for review on Jan 21.

Epiphany Service

The service of Lessons and Carols for Epiphany was outstanding! The readers, ringers, and singers did a marvelous job of conveying the Christmas story and exploring Christ as the light of the world. If you want to hear it, check out the video on YouTube.

Epiphany Service

Hymn of the Month - January Week 2

January finds us exploring a new tune that can be sung with several terrific texts. This week I’ll introduce the tune RENDEZ A DIEU and we’ll sing it to the hymn, When John Baptized by Jordan’s River.

Clef Notes

Music Director, Stephen Schall

This week we return to Green, Ordinary Time. Lent begins in a month. In the meantime, we relax and bask in the light of Christ.
