This Sunday: In-person service
Join us in person this Sunday at 10 am. The Men's Group will be running worship (as many in the congregation will be away at our women's retreat). John Latham will preach.
This week, there is no Zoom option available. We hope to see you in person at the retreat or at worship!

Try our new volunteer signup tool
We need several volunteers for every in-person service: a reader, a greeter, a coffee hour host, and someone to set up the altar. We're testing an online scheduler (to replace our old system, a clipboard that we passed around in person.) Please click here to volunteer for an upcoming service — or just to see how the online tool works!
