What a morning this Easter was!

Worship felt full in the best way. Full of familiar faces and new ones, full of music, full of life. Easter always reminds us what church is really for: showing up, being together, and everyone big and small making a joyful noise(with the occasional giggle or even a whimper from a four legged visitor hoping for some treats!)

If you joined us this Sunday, whether it's been a while or it was your very first time, know that you made the morning brighter just by being there. Our doors are always open, and there's always a seat.

We hope to see you again soon.

P.S. We recently refinished our sanctuary and we will be reopening it this summer!

This Sunday we sit with Joseph. A man who never speaks a word in Matthew's Gospel, whose faithfulness shows up not in proclamations but in what he does when no one is watching.

And we sit with some familiar faces closer to home, whose ordinary moments of love turn out to be practice for something more.

Lighting the Way: Advent and Awakening

On this second Sunday of Advent, we explore themes of waiting, readiness, and transformation. Just as we tend a stove or garden in hope, we prepare our hearts for Jesus' coming, embracing the possibility of new life and justice.

A feral kitten.
A weary little church trying its best.
A dying man who spends his last breath on someone else

If that stirs something in you, come sit with us tomorrow.
We’ll listen for what this story has to say.
