Come Worship with Us!
We are enjoying worship in the courtyard at 9am on Sundays with the singing of the birds, as well as online worship in our pajamas. Join us as Advent approaches!
Note some changes as cooler weather approaches. Beginning on the first Sunday of Advent, November 29th, our 9am service will move into the Family Life Center and we will begin a 4-week Sunday School Study called "Songs of the Season" which will happen in the Family Life Center 10am. We will social distance and wear masks for safety and Zoom will be available for Sunday School. Our online service will continue as usual, but the premiere will move to 11am.
Let us worship this Advent!

The Cheer Circle meets on the second Monday of each month. We share a monthly devotional, prayers, fellowship and friendship. We invite interested ladies to please come and visit the Cheer Circle. We welcome new faces and new ideas. We enjoy working on our local and global missions; focusing on women and children’s needs.
