We are gathering for in-person services inside our sanctuary at 9:45am. Our service is typically an hour long. Following the service we often have a time for Sunday school arts-and-play for the children, and book discussion for the adults. Recently we read together We Cry Justice: Reading the Bible with the Poor People’s Campaign, and The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr, and Good Enough, a devotional by Katie Bowler.
We talk, sing, share a story for the children in attendance, listen to a message, and share prayer requests with one another. At this time we are transitioning from our pastor of many years, Gwen Groff, and are currently hiring an interim pastor. You can read more about the interim pastor job description here. Meanwhile, we hear from congregation members, guest speakers, and we regularly have services devoted to singing together.
Please join us.
Our yard has a playground for children to play on during coffee hour after the service. In the warmer months, you’ll find a labyrinth mowed into the back lawn for walking and contemplation.
