You are also welcomed to help shape our future as we seek to grow in service. We are a small but friendly congregation looking forward to renewal. We have weathered the challenge of the recent pandemic, and have resumed meeting. We seek to provide thoughtful worship and sermons based in a growing understanding of what it means to be faithful to in a rapidly changing world. We do not abandon tradition but seek to grow with it. We welcome you to join us at 10:00 am each Sunday.

A Statement from the Minister:

Early each week I read the passages set for the next Sunday. They are very old and familiar to me, but I have never tired of them. Indeed, I am often touched by the way they seem to speak to our life and the world around us with all the challenges and joys that face us. I continue to discover and understand things in new ways, and I try to share that in worship. The old words are not dead, they speak of things the world needs, kindness, justice, forgiveness, and hope. We are called to commitment to compassion that can break the power of indifference, and chaos.

Along with announcements and other information of onterest, sermons have been published on our Facebook page for the last year.
