Sunday Services and Fellowship
Until further notice, we are following recommended guidelines to have no more than 10 people gathered together. This means that we will be going fully online with our Sunday services. We will have 1 service ONLY at 11 am. In addition to the Livestream, we have several months of archived services as well. Click here to visit our Sunday Service Livestream page. Services are also Livestreamed on our Facebook page and our YouTube page.
Sunday Fellowship will be in our Connecting in Community Zoom Room at noon. When you enter the Zoom room, you will be placed into a breakout room with up to five other people. This will create the intimacy of sitting around a table in the Community Room and sharing conversation. You will not necessarily be with the friends you would typically share Fellowship time with. It is our hope that when we are once more gathering in person, you will have a host of new friends you will have made in Zoom! To join the Zoom Room at Noon each Sunday, click on the button below.
