Sunday Community Meal
We gather each Sunday after the 10:30 a.m. worship in the Great Room to share a meal. The menu changes week to week. On holiday weekends, coffee, cookies, and lemonade are served instead of a meal.

Worship (Sa)
Saturday evening worship is a contemplative communion service. Whichever pastor is preaching on Sunday, preaches and leads worship on Saturday night. The service is guided by a contemplative sense: a slower pace, room for silence, and a simpler service order. The altar is on the main floor, and much of the music is led from…
