Our mission is connecting: upward, inward and outward.
We are a group of people who share faith in Christ and a love for God. We strive to care for others by following the example of Jesus. We are welcomed by God, just as we are, and we pray that we welcome others in the same way. Come visit us!

A New Option for Sharing Books: with a Focus on Books for Kids
A member of our church built this book sharing box for his Eagle Scout project. Please consider putting some of your own children's books in it to share with our community.
Two new juniper trees were planted in the futon of the church to replace one that died and one that had not fared well after the ice storm. Garden beds are all cleaned out and ready for spring planting when weather allows. Thank you Katherine for spearheading this project.
Speak Up!Would you be willing to give a short testimony interview?
We finish our journey through Acts this Sunday. Then, on Sunday, November 22, we will focus on how we can keep living out the same society-transforming relationship with God, having the same access to the same the Holy Spirit as they had in Acts. In the Sundays ahead, Pastor Mark wants to have short interviews where people share some of their faith testimony as part of the Sunday services. He can interview you live during the service, or we can record your interview. Let Pastor know if you are interested in sharing. |
