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....
The "Living Water" of the Baptismal Font - through baptism, we come to Christ, who is the Living Water, and enter Christ's Church

Outfit
What if you dressed the same way? Not in the same outfit (though that would be awesome), but with the same kind of significance?
Where is the Good Soil?
We simply never know where God’s kingdom is going to take root. Our job is simply to spread kingdom seeds with something like abandon so they might take root where God sees fit.
The Peace of God
There is always a certain peace to be found in the presence of those we love and cherish.
Dazzling
You probably never do this, but I sometimes sort of skip over the verses from Scripture and go right to the rest of the devotion, especially when — like today — it's a long reading.
Miracle
If a meal can start with a prayer, it can be spiritually digested.
Unshaken
Psalm 93 focuses on what stands firm. It speaks of the mighty providence that sustains us amid all that works to tear us apart. It's hard to see this when trouble is rampant. More than our faith and vision alone we need the insight and support of others. Together we can know and inspire confidence that works of love are backed up by power much greater than our own—and stronger than death itself.
Majesty
The Psalmist says that the natural world is the robe of majesty God wears, a sort of regal outfit she puts on to show how great she is. There's nothing wrong with being awed by the outfit, but that's not the same as worshiping the one who wears it.
Now That Looks Like You
Service. Compassion. Justice. Mercy. Forgiveness. Restoration. Reconciliation. Patience. Steadfastness. Hope. Joy. Courage. Liberation. Friendship. Kindness. Honesty. These are all expressions of love.
The Other Duck
My mother was a magnificent entertainer, but it was not the cooking.
Doing a New Thing
It is axiomatic that people often resist change.
