Services
Our life together as a community of faith is built around the joy we experience through worship. Worship serves to deepen our relationship with God and with each other so that we might live out our commitment to our Lord. Each of our services has a slightly different feel and flavor. We hope that you will find a place that speaks to your heart in one of the following worship opportunities.

The children join their parents for the Eucharist at the Peace.
