Join us for worship (and coffee & donuts) at 11:00, then help us turn the chairs around, so that we can serve our neighbors soup and sandwiches at 2:15!
Join us for Pentecost Sunday~June 9th at 11am. This is a family friendly service of worship with a time for all ages to creatively engage in activities about the Holy Spirit.
Happy Easter! We turned the ugly cross, a symbol of death, into something more beautiful—A symbol of beauty, new life, and hope. Thank you to all who brought flowers on Easter and participated in this lovely tradition.

Join us on Sundays at 11am for the season of Epiphany, January - March 3, 2019.

Throughout this season we look for glimpses of the holy in our rhythms and routines. How might our life's journey involve noticing God in the everyday?
