It's the July 4th weekend!
For some, this weekend can be a highlight of the summer. For church, we'll have our annual Outdoor Worship, if there is no rain. Also, be advised that it should be about 10 degrees cooler at 10am than today (likely low to mid 70's). Bring water and wear comfortable clothing.
As we gather, we'll mention July 4th, especially as it's the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. We'll hear together the words from Paul, "for freedom Christ has set us free," and consider what those words might mean for us today.
See you Sunday!

Worship 10am

Outdoor Worship – July 5th
Come and celebrate the beauty of God's world with us on July 5th. We'll gather on the patio outside of the sanctuary where we'll sing familiar hymns, read scripture, and celebrate communion with all of God's people. Come join us!Church Survey Results
Thank you to all who took our recent survey. We asked about our worship time together and what you value most in our church. Your responses helped us in our recent staff meeting to identify how we can help worship improve. You also gave us some valuable feedback about the ways we can identify who we are to our community. Thank you!
Check out the results below.
Starting July 19th and 26th, we'll have gatherings after church to process the results and to continue to be in conversation with you about where we are being led as God's people. If you are able, please join us!
