Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate

Have you been looking for a way to connect to the church? Do you just need a night out with friends? Then come to the men's ministry gathering Thursday, December at 6 pm at the Weiland home. We hope to see you there!

What a gift our children were last Sunday in worship. A special thanks to all our kids, our volunteers who aided with worship and practice, and David and Haven for all their hard work. If you missed last Sunday's worship, you can view it here. The gifts continue as we gather Sunday for worship to be blessed by our choir and handbells. We continue to journey through Advent and reflect on the gift of Emmanuel, God with us! We hope to see you Sunday for worship, then join us back at 4:00 pm for Carols and Cocoa on the lawn.
