Currently worship is in person and online. Masks are not required. We do ask that everyone continue to keep safe distances, wear masks if you need and wash your hands frequently. If you're not vaccinated please consider doing that step.
We invite you to worship on Sunday morning at 9:00am in the sanctuary and on Facebook Live.
Kids are welcome! We have a special "grace space" with a fun rug and toys midway up the row of pews. Kids can get a "take home kid bags", located near the entry ways that are loaded with snacks and color pages. Children's Church happens during worship for ages "3-12" or when mom and dad say. This is a special teaching time down the hall from the sanctuary where kids have a age appropriate lesson about Jesus. If children do not go to Children's Chruch do not worry! Wiggles and giggles are expected in the sanctuary.
Suits and ties, jeans and t-shirts are welcome. This worship will help you find the hope of Jesus Christ in your life. Based on the teaching of the bible we explore the ways God is active in our lives and how we can respond to the love and grace of Jesus guided by the Holy Spirit.

Call to Worship
God invites us to wake from our slumber.
There is much to be done for God today.
God encourages us to proclaim God’s goodness and love.
There are so many people who are lost and hurt, who need the good news of God.
God inspires us to be bold, in our actions, in our voices and in our helping.
Lord God, be with us as we step out boldly in faith to share and serve as your disciples.
Opening Prayer by All
God, our light and salvation, your forgiveness brings joy and gladness. Thank you for welcoming us to worship with open arms.

Let your will be done in our lives. In our Saviors name we pray. Amen
