Come and join us on Sunday morning as we continue to explore the Easter story, welcome new members into the congregation and celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism.
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!
