The day will start at 9:00 AM when the singing ensemble will meet to rehearse. Then Sunday School for children and adults convenes at 10 AM. We gather for Worship at 11 AM, with Open Worship. Christ is ministering to us in the silence. Nothing needs to be said, unless there is a clear leading to speak.

If you are a guest please join…
