Sunday Online Worship Logistics:

  • From 9am to 9:30am, the worship space will be open for folks to gather and get settled in. Our worship service will begin at 9:30am. 
  • Holy Communion is part of our online worship. We encourage you to prepare by putting together your own communion set from whatever you have handy in your kitchens and pantries - bread, crackers, tortillas, wine, juice, etc. Please have these items nearby when you join us online.

  • Ten-week Summer Worship Series: based on the Apostle Paul’s list of the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) which he shares with the Galatian church in Galatians 5:22-23. Find out more about the summer worship series on our website here.
