On Wednesday, March 6th at 7:00AM, we will have a brief Ash Wednesday service in the sanctuary. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the 40 days before Easter. Participation in the season of Lent is a tool for spiritual formation involving repentance, fasting, and prayer as we journey with Christ to the cross. All are welcome to celebrate with us!

Due to inclement weather, the worship service has been canceled for today, Sunday January 13th. Please stay home and stay safe!

In worship this Sunday we will be singing a beautiful song entitled Break Us by Kelley McRae.
