Join us Tuesday nights in September and October for two chances to explore faith from your own home.

At 6:00 pm, we’ll gather online to explore the Episcopal Church; our tradition, history, and theology; and what it is that we do.

Then at 7:00 pm, we’ll gather online to explore the gospel and how that can totally change how the world works.

Both classes will be on the same Zoom call so participants of the Newcomers Class can stick around. Both classes are open to members and nonmembers alike. Both classes are suited for those adults seeking confirmation or to join the Episcopal Church. See web page for Zoom info.

Holypalooza will be September 12! Worship will be at 10:30 am at Central Presbyterian Church. The service will be livestreamed for those who cannot or do not wish to attend in-person. The link will be available after September 8.

Because of the continuing pandemic, there are some changes this year - Central’s pastor, the Rev. Mike Riggins, and Session (Presby-speak for vestry) have made plans for the safest way to do our joint worship, but we will not have as many lay persons involved as usual, nor a 3-church choir, nor have the brass players.

Central’s folks have been watching Covid numbers closely, and will adjust as needed, including the possibility of Holypalooza worship being a virtual-only event if infection numbers warrant.

Note the change of location:
Central Presbyterian Church!

DRIVE THRU ONLY!

Meals will be available for same day purchase, though
we highly recommend pre-ordering tickets at
UCM.BETTERWORLD.ORG.
