Online Service

OrchardCommunity.Online.Church

While we can't be gathered together physically at the church we were so encouraged by the community and connection that happened this past weekend on our first online service. We are excited to continue to worship together in this way.

This Sunday we will begin to gather online at OrchardCommunity.Online.Church at 10 am for a time to check-in and chatting with one another, just like our time on the patio. The service will begin at 10:30 am.

If you need closed captions, just click on the "cc".
