CURRENT SERIES
SUPER HEROES. May 7 - 28. Pastor Monti is finishing up this series by comparing our favorite fictional super heroes to real life heroes & situations.
COMMUNION SUNDAY
Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us so that we could be in right relationship with God. Communion is a time to collectively reflect and say thank you. We use crackers and grape juice to symbolize Jesus' body and blood that were broken and shed for us.
If you are joining us in-person, be sure to take the elements of juice and cracker before you enter the Worship Center. We have gluten-free crackers available.
If you are joining us online, we encourage you to plan ahead and prepare your own elements before you turn on the service.
WHAT ABOUT CLASS
What questions do you have about faith and about God? This is a safe space to ask, especially if you are new or newer to your relationship with God. This class is held weekly, no need to register. Join us in the Fireside room at 10:30 AM. This class will take a break over the summer months and restart in the fall.
