Together @ 10... We are ONE Worship Service

Join us Sunday, January 25, 2015 for a special service where the 9:30 and 11:00 services will be combined into ONE service at 10:00 a.m. This is a great time to make new friends, re-connect with old friends and bring guests to visit our church. 

Stop by the gym before or after the 10:00 service to continue in fellowship and enjoy a Pancake Breakfast served by the youth.

Please note the 8:15 a.m. service will still be held in the Chapel.

A Time of Peace at Christmas

December 14
8:15 a.m.
Chapel

This December, we are offering an opportunity to re-engage in the peace & hope of the Christmas season.
If 2014 has been difficult due to a loss of a loved one, a career change or other reason or perhaps you are just tired of the holiday noise, then consider joining us. There is time to reflect, to remember and to lift up.
Join us to share in tranquil music, readings and prayer as we try to put it all in perspective with the birth of Jesus Christ.

The Birth Pangs

November 28, 2014 - 7:35pm

Have you ever noticed that moment when the lights dim and the stage lighting wakes up, that moment when even the whisperers stop whispering, that moment when the violins have their bows raised as the conductor raises her arms? Sometimes in a moment like that, the only sound is the sound of silence itself. You hold your breath to listen.

You're walking toward the front door, to bring in mail. For a second, you catch a whiff of fragrance from a scented something. It reminds you of a place you have never been and a time you have no words for.

The Elevator is Back in Service!

November 25, 2014 - 11:47am

We are excited to report that after a long three and a half months, the elevator is once again open for business! The elevator passed its final inspection and was given the all clear to be put back into service. As a result our 8:15 a.m Sunday worship service will once again be held in the Chapel.

We would like to thank everyone for your patience, generosity and understanding while the elevator was being repaired.
