PLANNING TO VISIT FOR THE FIRST TIME?

We know being new at a church can be intimidating . . . we've ALL been there. 

Here are answers to some questions you might have.

CHILDREN IN WORSHIP

We welcome children in worship!

 

 

COMMUNION

We celebrate the Feast of Holy Communion every service. Our communion table is an open table, which means everyone is welcome - you don't have to a member of this church, or any church, to participate. Our children are, especially, included in this invitation.


ONLINE WORSHIP AND COMMUNION

Even when worshiping online, you are invited to gather bread or a cracker and juice or wine to celebrate the Feast of Holy Communion together.
