10:30am Sunday Service | We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For
A call to embody the dreams of our ancestors and to recognize agency in the present day. What does it mean to you to be the one you are waiting for? How do we explore this on a collective level?

Sunday, Feb. 2 | Annual Service Auction
Our Annual Service Auction is this Sunday, February 2! Plan to stay after the service to enjoy lunch ( suggested donation of $5) and then participate. Our Service Auction is lots of fun, with items for every price range and wallet size; it’s user-friendly (even if this is your first time participating), and the best part is that every dollar raised goes to support our church’s programs.
