Connecting Gratefully

Stand back and watch on Sunday mornings as people gather for worship and you will see how relationships form. The warm greetings and kind words are real, as those who are facing times of both joy and struggle find connection. We give rides to each other and carry Holy Communion to those who cannot be here. We reach out with prayer and meals and cards for those going through hard times.

We care for our neighbors who donate blood. We support our youth as they serve and grow in relationships. We connect with community partners doing important ministry where they are. Connecting gratefully celebrates the importance of relationships in this congregation. We care for each other and the world.
