Back to our regular schedule…Sunday School at 9:30 am – Worship at 10:40

From September through May, we meet on our regular Sunday schedule. Sunday School for all ages begins at 9:30. Worship begins at 10:40. Fellowship time follows with refreshments, including freshly-ground fair-trade coffee.

In June, we’ll return to our summer schedule, but until then, please consider joining the adult Sunday School class which is studying Matthew Vines’ book, “God and the Gay Christian,” a study of the biblical case for same-sex relationships. This time is not designed for debate, but for sharing, learning and growing together. We don’t all have the exact-same theology or perspectives, but our congregation affirms full participation from LGBTQ members and friends and is committed to creating a safe and welcoming place for all.
