Holy Week is here! We hope you’ll join us in Holy Week moments, including attending our Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service on Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. This beautiful candlelit service helps bring the story of the closing days of Jesus’ life present in our minds, and moves us toward Good Friday. Prayer Stations in the sanctuary are open and available for quiet reflection, prayer, and meditation during church office hours throughout Holy Week, concluding on Good Friday at 1:00 p.m. Then, join us for the joyful celebration of Easter on Sunday, March 31 st ! Our big Easter celebration and pot luck breakfast kicks off at 8:30 a.m., followed by our Egg Hunt at 9:15 a.m. (register by 9 a.m.), and then a joyful Easter worship service at 10 a.m. and featuring the Ordinance of Baptism. We look forward to seeing you!

Book Group

December 1, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Does the nightly news leave you agitated or depressed? Are you anxious about rising tides and the latest severe weather patterns? Leave your worries behind and join the Book Group for their December 1st meeting to discuss a hilarious book by Anne Tyler called Vinegar Girl. Since the group has recently read some longer nonfiction works that were challenging but rewarding, the members decided to tackle a shorter, more light-hearted book. Loyce Thomson said that she laughed out loud while reading the entire book, and Beverly Davies agreed that it was a very funny book with Anne Tyler’s usual array of quirky characters.  The book is a contemporary update of Shakespeare’s comedy, The Taming of the Shrew. Kate, the “vinegar girl” of the title, is a tart-tongued independent young woman whose father is trying to force her into an arranged marriage with his esteemed research assistant who’s being threatened with deportation.  The group will be meeting in the church lounge for discussion and laughter.
