third Sundays are traditional worship services with Communion. The

Join us this summer (starting June 18) for our Wednesday evening Outdoor Worship Series, Unexpected Grace, featuring your inspiring voices and sweet fellowship (yes, including ice cream!). If you're interested in speaking during one of the nine evenings, please contact Eric for more information — we’d love to include your voice in this final season of the "Near and Now" series.
Beginning June 18, we will again be serving ice cream after church services. Please consider helping to serve our members and friends in the neighborhood. Three or four people are needed each Wednesday for 30-45 minutes. All supplies are provided at church. This is a fun and easy way to engage with our neighbors. Our last Wednesday to serve will be August 13, so there are a lot of opportunities to help with this ministry. Contact Mary Ingenthron if you can help.
