Worship Services

Patrick Forde and Christine Shepherd gather contact information for in-person worship

Jim Carroll has been gather data on the willingness of people to attend in-person worship. The Deacons are pleased with the current situation of online sermon, children's story, and Godly Play videos.

Good Friday will be a full service for worship on YouTube.

The planned in-person full service for Easter Sunday will now be online only, due to the change in Covid restrictions. Communion is included. You are invited to have bread and juice ready.

Videos of sermon, children's time, and Godly play will continue weekly. Future in-person services are tentatively scheduled for May 9th (Mothers' Day), May 30th (Anniversary), and June 20th (Fathers' Day).
