We Are The Church!

As part of our goal to offer our sanctuary to the community as a music venue we enjoyed hosting the Vocal Mixology Concert on December 15. It was a wonderful concert and having our own John and Dominque Saylor in the choir was a bonus!

Once again we all had a wonderful time at Pastors Kim and Steve's annual Christmas Open House.

This Sunday!

In the morning at 10:30am, we will celebrate the last Sunday of Advent. This service will be a time to rest and center ourselves in God's promises as we stand on the cusp of our Christmas celebrations. Based on the 7 ancient "O Antiphon" prayers that we know best from the carol, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," we will reflect on the promises of God through scripture, prayer, and song. 



(Please note: this will not be a "Christmas Eve" service of Carols and Candlelight--you have to wait until 9 pm for that service!)

Worship Information and Bulletin

In the evening at 9:00pm, the Baby will finally be born, and we will finally celebrate with our traditional Candlelight Christmas Eve service. Please invite family and friends to join us for this beautiful service led by our chancel choir. 

For those who are unable to join us in the sanctuary the service will be live streamed on Zoom and Facebook. [use the same links as Sunday morning]

December 31, 2023 - Service of Carols and Communion

As we stand at the threshold of a new year we will linger for a few more moments in the wonder of Christmas with a carol sing and then we will prepare to enter a new year with the celebration of communion.

We will also dedicate the reverse Advent Calendars Collection at this service. Please bring your donations with you.

January 7, 2024 - Love Feast and Epiphany Star Words

We will celebrate the first Sunday of the new year with a Love Feast and celebration of Epiphany. We will also Ordain and install our new officers.

A worship feast for body and soul.

We are always looking for donations of cookies or other treats to give us something to munch on while enjoy a cup of Dale's coffee. If you feel like baking (or shopping) just bring them with you on a Sunday. If we have too many treats that day we will freeze some for the next week. Thank you!
