Worship Survey

We have received a great deal of positive feedback about our 10:00 a.m. worship services this summer. As we look to our quarterly "This is US" Sundays during this upcoming program year, as well as anticipate 10:00 a.m. services again next summer, we would like to hear from members and worshipers in a more direct way. Please take our 5 minute survey. Use this link to share your thoughts.

To receive the daily devotions you can sign up by clicking here and selecting “Season of Peace.” You will begin receiving them automatically when the season

begins in September.

Confirmation Project

Hello! My name is James Kryshtalowych and I am in ninth grade at Hough High School. I am collecting personal hygiene items and assembling them into Blessing Bags for FeedNC. In Matthew 25, Jesus preaches about taking care of the sick and needy. The items I am collecting will be distributed to individuals who are without the things they need to clean themselves and stay healthy.

Please consider donating the following items (FULL sizes only, please): toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, bar of soap, shampoo & conditioner. Click here for more information about Blessing Bags. Donation bins will be located outside the Congregation House & Sanctuary.

This is US Sunday

The first or our quarterly "This is US" Sundays is October 6^th. Join us for our one service of worship at 10:00 a.m. as we celebrate World Communion Sunday. There is no Sunday School that day.
