Upcoming Classes and Events
Young Adult Small Group

The young adult small group is a place for "younger" adults to get together and talk about issues important to us. We provide a safe space to share ideas and challenge each other respectfully. We are an open group and anyone who feels they are a "young adult"-regardless of age-
is welcome to join and share their thoughts with us. Email Caitlin for more information. 
Want to Sing in the Choir?
Want to sing with our choir, just for an evening? Our choir season opens with an "all-sing" rehearsal on Wed. Sept. 9, 7:00-9:00 PM, and a single service on Sunday, September, 13 that are open to anyone, without any need to commit to being part of the choir for the rest of our season. People who have never sung in a group, singers who are too busy for weekly rehearsals, people who want to try us out, choir alumni who no longer sing with us, friends and family members- all are welcome! We will be providing childcare during rehearsal; singing parents, please let Benjie Messer know in advance how many children you'll be bringing.
