These services and times may be changed dependent on attendance patterns or if there is trouble maintaining safe distancing. Services will continue to be placed on-line. - Please see Devotion (below) for more details - PLEASE NOTE:

Especially noteworthy is:
Kathy Map’s welcome Lionel and Toby’s “When the Saints Come Marching In” Gospel Gathering Jim and Sandy’s sharing the Old Testament lesson and the Affirmation of Faith from the Toy Museum We have one more exclusively virtual service (week-end of 9/27) then we will resume face-to-face, safe worship (8:30 in the Chapel) and (10:00 in the Sanctuary). In addition, the service will still be filmed. So we only have one more week of these wonderful inserts from different locations. The study is the background for the current series on Paul’s letter to the Philippians.
Next Friday, Sara Wood will be doing the study on the Old Testament character of Gideon.
