“Why are We Here?”
10:30am in the Sanctuary and on YouTube

Here is the church. Here is the steeple. Open the doors and see all the people. Why do we come to church? What is the role of the religious community in today’s society? Reverend Rebecca will explore historical and contemporary trends and the place spiritual community holds in our lives. Get a sneak peak of some fun ahead as well.

March is our Annual Giving Campaign month. Please join us for our third Giving Sunday worship service.
