Worship This Sunday
Pray, sing, listen, connect and worship with us this Sunday at 10am in the sanctuary. Ben Pulaksi, our Minister of Christian Faith Formation, is preaching on Jesus’ washing the feet of the disciples and we’ll sing worship and praise songs together with guitars. Rev. Will and his daughter, Naomi, will offer some special music for the offertory as well. We hope to see you there!
Summer Bible Study
Join us for an informal Bible study before worship each Sunday during the summer. We will gather in the Henry Room at 9:00 AM, and head down the hall afterwards to the Worship service at 10:00. This summer we will be focusing on the book of John. Each session can stand on its own so you can come to a few or to all of them, just come join your fellow churchgoers for this nourishing activity!                                                        
Prayer List  
Please keep these people in your prayers and if you have someone to add we encourage you to contact  Rev. Will  or  Rev. Judy and they can get them on the list.
