Worship
Our main service of worship takes place on Sunday
mornings. Sunday morning worship is spirit filled and visually
enhanced through liturgical art. We have a small dedicated choir and a
young people's sacred dance group that participates in worship on a
regular basis. Our Sunday services are augmented by creative worship
opportunities during the years such as, "Taize Services", Advent
Worship opportunities, and Holy Week worship series.
Christian Education
*Sunday School is for all ages, and midweek Bible studies are the foundation of our Christian Education Program. We offer both short and long term Bible study opportunities such as Disciple Bible Study (a year long study of the scriptures) to shorter programs such as "Alpha", Making Love Last a Lifetime: Christian Perspectives on Love, Marriage, and Sex", and "Jesus In the Gospels".
*We also provide opportunities for family activites and fellowship during the year such as "Trick or Trunk", "Advent Pot Luck Supper", "Teddy Bear Picnic", "Fat Tuesday Celebration", and our annual Easter Egg Hunt.
