This Sunday, we will be celebrating the sacrament of Holy Communion and invite all to join us. In the tradition of the United Methodist Church, we welcome everyone to the communion table.
We also welcome everyone — both longtime members and new visitors — to join us in worship on Sunday morning.
Both the in-person service in the sanctuary and the livestream begin at 9:30 am Sunday.
You are always welcome at this church!
