On Sunday (weather permitting!), we will move to the Memorial Garden for our worship service. Ushers will move chairs into the garden but feel free to bring your own comfy camp chair and set it up wherever you choose.
As the Chancel Choir enjoys its summer break, Heidi & Charlie van Becelaere will provide special music during the offertory.
Our in-person worship service in the sanctuary and the livestream begin at 9:30 am Sunday.
You are always welcome at this church!
