Donate Now Communion & Community This Sunday we will continue finding common ground in this politically divisive, socially distanced world by celebrating Holy Communion and focusing on our community. We will honor all the Saints who've gone before us, and many who are still among us! Please remember to adjust your clocks and join us in worship at 10:30AM (in-person or online). Also, why not connect with a small group at 9AM on Zoom for Bible study or at 11:30AM for Virtual Fellowship Hour. We're here for YOU! Worship LIVE this Sunday 11/01/2020 at 10:30AM Finding Common Ground: Community, from Isaiah 34:18-19 and Ephesians 2:14-22 Kids & Costumes   We will have a mini-version of our annual Trunk or Treat after worship this Sunday. Kids are welcome to wear costumes to church (remember: still no childcare provided...SORRY! But wiggles, giggles, and fun are welcome!) Everyone is invited to bring candy or treats to share.       Thanksgiving Project This year we join St. Alban’s Episcopal and other churches to provide meals for families in need.
