Sunday Worship

We'll gather this Sunday to worship and remember the life, ministry, and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We'll sing spirituals and reflect on Dr. King's prophetic words that remind us of how desperately we need one another to face the challenges Dr. King one day dreamed we would overcome. The Sanctuary Choir will sing Precious Lord, Take My Hand by gospel great Thomas Dorsey. Pastor Dana preaching. Childcare available.

Faith Forum

Newcomer Gathering
Tues., Jan. 21st at 7:00pm in the SC Library

Green Bee saw too much holiday packaging piled on doorsteps, representing so much waste!  What izz one to do?
