Come and join us on Sunday morning as we celebrate the amazing story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We offer two services on Easter Sunday — one at 7:30 am in the Memorial Garden and the traditional 9:30 am service in the sanctuary. We would love to have you join us at either service.
Our in-person worship service in the sanctuary and the livestream begin at 9:30 am Sunday.
You are always welcome at this church!
