WORSHIP OPPERTUNITIES
We gather together as people of God sharing our joys in praising God, and opportunities to express our concern for others and also to express our common belief. We encourage active participation in praise, acts of confession, proclaiming Gods word and committing ourselves to serve God. As worship is the center of our communal life, we share acts of baptism, receive new members, and break bread. Holy Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month.
