Sunday, March 29th

This Sunday Rev. Paul Ivany is filling in for Rev. Heather. We continue the season of Lent, and our theme: Tell Me Something Good.

It's Palm Sunday and we will hear again the familiar story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. We hear the cries of Hosanna, an ancient Hebrew word that many believe means "Save us".

We'll spend some time considering what it means to be saved and what we are being saved from. Join us online at 9:00 or in-person at 10:00.

All are welcome.

Join us Online for Worship @ 9:00AM

or

for In-Person Worship @ 10:00AM

You can find the online service on Facebook Live or on our YouTube channel.

The service will be saved at both locations for viewing through the week.

NEW - Virtual Coffee Time - NEW

Something new we are going to try.

Sunday March 29th from 10 to 10.30am. Come after the online service to meet other people from the online community of faith.

We will start with 30 minutes and see how it goes. Please join us via Zoom here

If you can't join us this month, maybe you can next month.
