“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer”
Creator God, we pray for our world now facing a global pandemic. We ask for wisdom in making decisions to help lessen any harm the Coronavirus may bring. Grant us the strength to be a force of good in combating this disease. We seek ways to be of help to our neighbors, and all people who may be affected. May we be mindful to walk in faith and act in love, both in times of joy, and in times of challenge. Amen.

Welcome to Our New Members
On April 11, 2021, we were delighted to welcome four new members to our congregation during the worship service. The new members were each paired with a sponsoring deacon. During the membership presentation, the new members introduced themselves and briefly spoke about what led them to our congregation. The congregation in turn pledged to offer their Christian care and support.
Welcome to our church family!
