Photos and Photographers Wanted!

Did you take any photos during the Christmas Eve services? If so we'd love to see them! We are also looking for photographers who would like to volunteer their skill to some of our upcoming church events. Whether you've taken photos or would be interested in taking them in the future, please contact Katie Mrochko.

Sunday, January 7 is Communion and Confirmation Sunday

Please join us this weekend as we celebrate the sacrament of communion and pray for our youth being newly confirmed this Sunday during both services. At the 9:00AM service, children in grades K-5th Grade will return to the Sanctuary to partake in communion or receive a blessing with their families, and to join in communal prayer for our youth. Due to Confirmation Sunday, Youth Sunday School for Middle and High School will begin on Sunday, January 14.

First Communion Class

On January 21 we will offer a Communion Class led by Pastor Matt Overton and Tifny Mathena. This class is for any child (or adult!) that feels ready to partake in this sacrament and would like to have a greater understanding of what exactly communion is and why the sacrament matters! Register here.
