24rd In-Person Service after the COVID-19 Shutdown
We extend a cordial welcome to each person worshipping with us in person or online. We hope the service will leave you feeling renewed, fulfilled, and challenged. God bless you all!
The flowers for the service were given in loving memory of William W. Sprague, Jr. by Elizabeth Sprague.

Every Sunday, there are people who work behind the scenes to help make each service meaningful and wonderful for all of us and our online visitors. We thank those heroes of our faith: control room and live streaming techs, videographers, video editors, sound editors, font editors, and many others.
