Our Christmas Eve Service is at 7 pm on Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025. Come join us for an impromptu “Picture Pageant” and lots of singing as well as a candlelight finish to the service.

On Sunday, October 19, 2025 immediately after the worship service, we will be holding a congregational meeting in the Sanctuary to review our Strategic Planning report and proposed action items. The meeting will be followed by a light lunch downstairs.
