Worship Schedule Change for Sunday
mornings in July

10:00 - Sunday School
11:00 - Sanctuary Service (with special music)
Join us on the lawn in front of the
Sanctuary for fellowship and

In the darkness of life's stresses and fears, in moods of worry and despair, we are most aware of our thirst for God. It is in darkness we most fear a God of judgment. And it is in darkness that we most need our God of grace and transforming love.
