Adults & High School Students: Love to sing, but don’t have time to join a choir regularly? Join us for Summer Choir Sundays on July 19 and August 9, 2026. JUST SHOW UP AND SING!

Be in the church Sanctuary at 10:00 a.m.

Sing at the 10:30 a.m. service.

It’s Back to School and this calls for a celebration! Let’s prepare for the excitement of a new school year. This special Sunday will include blessings for:

• Kindergartners starting school

• Teachers, IAs, adminstrators, professors, counselors and all who work in preschools through universities

• Students at all stages of their education

Blessings will take place at both the 9:00 & 10:30 a.m. services. You are welcome to bring your backpack to be blessed, if you would like. We will have backpack tags, stickers and other goodies to remind you of who and whose you are as you go back to school.

Sundays from September 13 - October 19 from 10:05-10:45 a.m.

Ninth graders will start the year off on Sunday mornings with Pastor Kelsey getting ready for their confirmation service on Sunday, October 25. They will share breakfast, build relationships and talk about what it means to be confirmed. All current 9th graders are encouraged to attend, regardless of if they have previously participated in confirmation activities. Register for 9th grade Confirmation here. For more information, contact Pastor Kelsey, Associate Pastor for Youth and College-Age Ministry.
