Countdown

The latter Sunday service is more contemporary than our early service. The sermon is the same at both services, but the atmosphere is more charged at our 10:45 service. The latter service features praise songs instead of hymns, and the church organ is accompanied by a band made up of church members. At this service, communion is served on the first Sunday of each month. Come ready to be transformed during this engaging hour of worship.

Join us on Christmas Day for a special celebration of our savior’s birth. After waiting for four weeks during Advent, we will celebrate his arrival on Christmas morning. There will be a time of singing, during which you can request your favorite Christmas hymn or praise song, along with testimonies of what God has done in the past year and fellowship.

This will be a fun, relaxed celebration. There’s no need to dress up, and the church will have pastries, bagels, coffee, tea and hot cocoa for those who need breakfast or brunch. Come as you are, as long as you’re ready to praise God and have a good time. Childcare will be available for children under five.

If you’re in middle or high school, come fly with Faith Leading Youth. FLY is a vibrant community of committed youth who want to use their faith to lead those around them. Engage with other believers your age who want to dig deep in Scripture, pray passionately to God and effectively reach others.

FLY meets for an hour every Thursday, during which time we sing, pray and study together, and then enjoy a time of games. Come ready to praise God. Come ready to ask hard questions about Christianity. Come ready to grow and fly.

The church is widely involved in diaconal and charitable efforts throughout our city. Out of respect for the privacy of those that we serve, though, many of these activities are not widely publicized.

If you have a specific question or concern, feel free to ask a deacon or come to one of the church’s deacon meetings. Portions of the meetings are confidential, but there is always a time for people to talk and pray with our deacons.

While the turkey’s in the oven, join us for a brief time of praise on Thanksgiving Day. The Thanksgiving Celebration will be specifically focused on giving thanks to God for the many ways he has blessed us in the past year. We’ll be singing songs of thanks, lifting up prayers of thanks and hear a short message. During the offering, everyone will be asked to write down something they’re thankful for, and then we’ll present our cards of thanks to God during the service.
