Worship
The chief responsibility of every
Christian is to praise and thank God. We gather for worship at
8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. every Sunday
morning, except June through August when we worship
at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. From September
through May, we have a Sunday School hour
which begins at 9:45 a.m. We celebrate Holy
Communion at both services every Sunday, and
members, and guests are invited to participate.
The pastor shares “Time With the Children”
at both services.
