Upcoming Events

Wednesday Night Program: Epiphany Service
Wednesday, January 4, 2016
6:30 p.m., Chapel

Epiphany celebrates the manifestation of God in Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, represented by the magi who visited the infant Jesus. We will celebrate the arrival of the magi with a festive Epiphany-themed dinner followed by a worship service in the chapel.

This Wednesday, we will not have children’s choirs; children are invited to participate in the service and there will be a special time dedicated to our young worshippers.

Dinner served at 5:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Reservations are required.

Service of Baptism & Holy Communion
Sunday, January 8
6:00 p.m., Chapel

This service is a special time in the life of our church as we have the privilege of bearing witness to and celebrating this important step in these persons’ journeys of faith. We gather as a family of faith to remember our own baptism, and to be a source of encouragement and companionship for these who would follow their Lord and Savior in the ordinance of baptism.
