  • Adult Summer Sunday School

    “Revelation” is a book of mystery and unfamiliar symbols, but we can understand it. The book’s message of hope and resistance speaks loudly into today’s current political climate. This adult Sunday offering by Eddie Bellis begins June 1 and will end Sunday, August 10. We will use a Kerygma curriculum ($10/person) which can be ordered by dropping off a check at the church office or paying online by clicking here. We will have your workbook for you at the first class. We will meet in Barr Conference Room at 9:00 AM. Sign up here.

  • Sign up here! The flowers add to our worship by reminding us of God’s creation, and then are broken down into smaller arrangements and delivered to members of our congregation as a reminder of the love of their church family and of God. The cost is $85, and you may pay online or with a check with worship flowers in the memo line. The signups are on a first come first serve basis. If you have a specific date you would like, sign up ASAP. Thank you for providing flowers each week to enhance worship.
