This Sunday

Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Family Day weekend as the family of God with an intergenerational creative worship service. We’ll meet at 10:30 for a time of creativity, ending with a special snack and an extended time for conversation with one another.  We do hope that you join us this Sunday.

 

Lent begins next Sunday.  Lent Lent prepares us for Easter.  It is a time where disciples of Jesus are encouraged make room for worship and reflection, hearing and responding to God  and practicing the ways of Jesus as we journey to the cross.
