 IN PERSON WORSHIP SERVICE: 8:15 for Traditional and 10:30 for Contemporary.  Masks are optional but recommended. Please be sure to check-in when you attend in-person worship. We currently track attendance via  the lists instead of the pew sheets, and use this for contact tracing purposes as well. 

Sunday School : 9:30

Our online worship continues to be an alternative option as long as you need it.

 

A New ACE Class will meet on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am in the Fellowship Hall starting May 1st.  A Glorious Whisper is a 4 part Bible-based study asking “How does God speak to us?’ by John Birch.  It looks at God's relationship with his people in the Old and New Testaments, and believers today - and how God can be heard within the world in which we live.  Contact Janet McCarty, who will be leading the study, for a free pdf downloadable copy or to request a hard copy – jmmccarty70@gmail.com. 

 

 SHRINE OF CHRIST’S PASSION Sunday, May 15 @ 9:30 am

You are invited to join a “caravan” trip to The Shrine of Christ’s Passion in St. John, Indiana. This is a ½ mile beautiful, tranquil, and spiritual walk through the stations of the cross. Bonus - it is FREE! Each station has life size bronze statues in a beautifully landscaped setting, narrated by Bill Curtis. It is a place that everyone should visit. Additional bonus - there is a HUGE gift shop and additional spiritual areas to enjoy. St. John is about a 1 ½ hour drive from church. We are asking for people to sign up by May 13 and volunteer to drive others. We will consolidate rides. Please note this trip is weather permitting and will be canceled if there is inclement weather - so please include the best way to contact you. We recommend bringing a lunch as the walk and shop can take up to 2-3 hours to enjoy.

There will be a sign up sheet in the gathering room or you may contact Shar Momich @ sharmomich@gmail.com or 630-567-4994
