Sunday Service

Ah ... it feels like creation is finally singing. What a beautiful day! Come to church this Sunday, and sing your heart out. We've got some great hymns, a song especially chosen by Julia Jordan, and a reflection with Susan that may help you to say the Lord's Prayer anew. There is darkness and there is light - worshipping together helps us to find our way.


See you Sunday
