Upcoming services and series: Did you know? Easter is not just one Sunday, but a whole season of 50 days! It’s a time in the church year when we explore stories about resurrection, new life, and what that means for us in our lives. It ends on Pentecost (Sunday, June 5 th ) – a day that shifts us into a new season in the Christian calendar where we think about the work of the church in the world. In the Easter season, we’ll have lots of opportunities to celebrate signs of resurrection hope all around us. Sunday, May 1 st Service details TBA as we find ways to connect with our sister congregations who have also disaffiliated from the UMC. Sunday, May 8 th – Creation Care Service. While Earth Day was celebrated on April 22nd, we’ll take some time this Sunday during our 10 AMworship gathering to give thanks for the planet (celebrating our Mother Earth on this Mother’s Day). Sunay, May 15 th – Following worship, our Church Council meeting begins at noon. Zoom link can be found at our website .

Weekly Prayer Vigil for Ukraine Each week, we’ll set up our sanctuary space for prayer, reflection, and meditation as we pray for the war in Ukraine and those most impacted by the continuing violence.
