We will be meeting live this week and also on Zoom in our hybrid gathering mode. You are welcome to join us in either way.
We will start at 10:30am so if you are joining on zoom we'll let you in at around 10:20 so we can make sure it is all working for you.
Contact Sarah for an invite.

Philip & Brenda Janz will lead our sung worship portion, this will not be recorded for copyright reasons, but if you want to sing along live the lyrics are on our sung worship page as usual.

Stacey Chomiak is an LGBTQ Christian Speaker, artist, author and art director and was our guest speaker and we loved hearing her story.

There may be a time when some in our community need to stay home and isolate. We want to be able to help you as you need it. There are members of our community who will be happy to pick up groceries for you, bring you a nice coffee, visit through a window, pray for you, or try and meet whatever need you have.
Let us know how we can help by contacting the church office. It's said way too often, but nonetheless it is still true; we are in this together.
