ATTENTION! SUNDAY SERVICE TIMES TO CHANGE THE FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Mark your calendars for December 1 when our Sunday schedule will take on a new look.
Adult Education will run 9:00 - 10:00 (arrive early for coffee!).
Church will begin at 10:15 and run until 11:45 (with fellowship following).
The decision to change the service times had to do with research the vestry studied regarding optimal service times for families with children, and our intent to be as open to the needs of the community as we can.

 

ADVENT SERIES | ZOOMING THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES
Beginning Wednesday, December 4rd, at 7:00Ppm to 8:00pm, a ZOOM group will study the Scriptures for Advent. to explore the past Sunday’s readings of December 1st , continuing through the Christmas season. (No need to travel in the cold and dark night.)

A REMINDER ABOUT PARKING
Please veer away from double parking behind an existing car, as it blocks people from leaving when they need to. Additional parking can be found up the hill towards the preschool, and across the street in the library parking lot. Leaders and those who are able are asked to park as far away from the building as possible, to make room for those needing to be closer to the church.

 

ONLINE GIVING IS EASY AND SAFE
Online giving is easy and safe and - best of all - reoccurring giving can be set up so you don't need to scramble on Sunday mornings writing your offering check. Regular giving and special offerings include weekly offerings/tithes and the Priest Discretionary Fund, Give here.
