Saturday Evening Service

Everyone is welcome to come to our conversational Saturday evening worship service. We begin at 5:30 pm in the Social Room. As we gather, we enjoy some refreshments together and we begin to share with one another what has been on our mind and heart this last week. We pray and reflect together on God’s holy word. We share the Lord’s Supper, and we also make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Come as you are and join us for worship and fellowship!
