PASTOR CONNECT

Every Sunday During Worship

via Zoom

A pastor will be available on Zoom each Sunday during our worship service. If you would like someone to pray with you, have questions about anything, or just want to connect with someone for a few minutes, you're invited to login via Zoom.

VIRTUAL GAME NIGHT

Fourth Tuesday of Each Month at 6:33pm

Everyone is invited to join us for Virtual Game Night via Zoom. Games have included scavenger hunts, Scattergories, Psych! and different games on the Jackbox platform. 

Game night lasts about an hour and is always filled with laughter. 

MIDDAY CHECK IN

Tuesdays and Thursdays 12pm-12:30

A pastor will be online to receive and pray for anyone who would like to join. You will be invited to breathe deeply, hear God’s word prayed for you and others based on the Book of Common Prayer, Midday prayers for the day. It is our hope that all will allow the Holy Spirit to realign our bearings for the day. After this 10-minute time of prayer, anyone who wishes to log off will be welcomed to go about their day in God’s peace. If you have an additional few minutes you are invited to stay online to share where you are on your journey and affirm one another.
