Sunday Worship

We are hosting our Sunday Worship using Zoom.  Gathering begins at 10:30 and live worship begins at 10:45.  You can join in the service at anytime by clicking the camera icon.

​

We love for visitors to join our worship.  Unfortunately on July 5, 2020 our service suffered some hateful people coming in with hate messages and distasteful images.  We now must password our service.

​

Please email the Pastor to get the password.

Faith in a Time of Fragility,

Grief and Loss

We are living in a time that is challenging so much of what we instinctively feel called to do as people of faith.
 
We are living with feelings of loss and grief over large and small things.  We feel alone and fragile — physically, emotionally and spiritually.  We are used to gathering together and holding each other close, especially in times of loss.
 
We have begun experimenting with gathering and worshiping in new ways— sometimes without seeing each other, but trying to hold on to the “invisible string” of love that binds us together.
 
But, we grieve that we cannot be together to share special life moments — celebrations like baptisms, weddings and graduations.  Even more, we grieve that we cannot be together physically to care for one another as we face death and dying.  MORE
