Worshiping With Us During the Pandemic
As we follow the latest information and recommendations regarding gatherings, please join us in doing everything possible for the health of one and all! Please stay home, if you do not feel well, if you or someone close to you has been exposed, if you or someone close to you has been tested. We will keep you informed with further updates!
Thanks be to God for those who have given their time and leadership as we worship in our sanctuary, and as we together do everything possible to honor, serve, & care for one and all!
You will find more details below, including signing up for worship, signing up to volunteer, what to expect, and children's activity sheets. You can also access these details on our website and on our Facebook page!
Worship each Sunday will be a 30-minute service including live music by our worship leaders, a children's message, and a message from Pastor Jamie. Holy Communion will be offered as the service ends. If you prefer, if your timing is better, from 10:15-10:30 a.m., you are invited to drive up to the curb of the sidewalk in front of the building, and receive Holy Communion in your vehicle.
Each Sunday we will make every attempt to live stream the service for you, beginning at 9:25 a.m.
We hope you join us for worship! We look forward to seeing you soon!

Amazing grace,
How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost,
But now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Do you keep a little treasure chest? You know, a little box, a few things in a drawer, a secret place for those things that are extra special to you? Do others know what you treasure most? Maybe it is no secret at all? Maybe what you treasure is out in the open for everyone to see?
Jesus' words from Matthew noted here, are at the center of Ash Wednesday Worship.
Lent invites us to re-examine what we treasure, what our heart is centered on.
Our Savior in amazing grace opens our heart to treasure anew The Christ.
Our Savior in amazing grace, finds us, opens our eyes.
Our Savior in amazing grace, treasures us; you are where God's heart is!
God blesses you, names you, claims you, in God's amazing grace alone!
Amazing grace is for us to treasure! Amazing grace is no secret! May others see what is now out in the open: We treasure most The One who treasures us; in grace alone!
Let us pray: God of amazing grace, today I thank you for saving a wretch like me. I treasure and I center my heart on things I think matter most. I confess, I have tempting treasures, and self-serving treasures, I hold onto, I allow to remain, and I keep them secret, or at least I think I do. Save me, renew my heart again today through your amazing grace. In grace alone, I will share how sweet the sound, so others know what is no secret: I treasure the One who first treasures me! In amazing grace, I pray. Amen.
