Family-friendly worship is at the center of our life together.

We hold two worship services each Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.


We have a "contemporary" worship service at 9 a.m. every second Sunday of the month.  Music begins at 8:50 a.m., so join us then!

During the school year, there is Sunday School for children and youth between the worship services, beginning at 9 a.m.   We meet in the Gathering Room in the Lower Level.  It's FUN - come on & join in!


From young to old, there is a place for you in this faith fellowship....

FEED YOUR SPIRIT StillSpeaking Daily Devotional & Bible Readings -- today's reflection is the first one; previous days are beneath. (Click on the title to see the entire devotional.)

Royals
The flowered crown God weaved for us in the beginning is a perfect fit, our dignity is immense, and our glory astonishes the angels.

One
If you pray, pray more than ever today, for many people in the town of Moore are unable to utter a single word to God in their shock and sorrow.

The Space Between Us
For human beings, there's truly no harder land to till than the spaces between us.

A Heart Patient's Pace
Studies show that people who walk faster, live longer.

God Goes Viral
Read any of Paul's letters and you'll see how God-gone-viral caused a world of diversity problems for the early church.

Delusions of Gender
Schooled in that "Women are invisible" point of view, I often miss what men or Jesus or fathers or sons are saying.

Green Pastures
If the shepherd is God, then you know who we are.

Life or Death? You Choose
People of faith and faith communities can play a unique role in addressing the environmental crisis. That does not mean we will, however.

Easter Laugh
There is nothing you will go through that is so hard that you can't dispel some of the darkness by laughing.

And It Was Good!
Everyone an Adam; everyone an Eve.
