Our church usually changes its worship time on Rally Sunday. However, starting from September 15, 2019 we have decided to keep the worship time at 10 am. Sunday school children will worship with adults at 10 am. They will join their Sunday school classes after the children’s time during the worship. Every first Sunday when there is Communion, we will not have Sunday school. But we will encourage our children to be actively part of the worship service by participating in lighting the candles, ushering, reading scripture, singing introit with the choir … etc. All our Sunday school teachers are excited and enthusiastic about this change as we seek to worship together and also grow in our love for God through education.
So, please come and join us at 10 am on Sundays. You will meet a wonderful group of people who want to serve with you as God calls us all to go out and transform the world in God’s love. This coming Sunday, we will be blessed by the message of our retired bishop, Jane Middleton, as she will share her message “New Beginning.”
Come and join us at 10 am on August 11, 18, and 25 for meaningful and lively conversation on how we understand the grace of God. How could the films help us in this theological conversation?
Our summer worship schedule begins on June 16.
Our worship time is at 10:00 am.
