whether we're at fellowship or worship in this building or anywhere else:.. we "are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
I will dwell in them
And walk among them.

And they shall be My people.”

hesitant about returning to church and worship...? conform to our Lord's imperative, and join us this Sunday at 930 am!

"... let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting TOGETHER, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10.24-25

'IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL' was written after traumatic events in the composer Harotio Spafford's life. The first was the death of his son followed shortly by the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which ruined him financially, later followed by a shipwreck

Doug Harrington, an American now living in Sweden, formed Zero8 in 2007, with the ambition to create a men's choir that not only performed barbershop on a high level, but also to bring that perfection of sound and showmanship ...

"When peace like a river, attends my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know[b]
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul."

We’re glad to share this performance of 'It Is Well With My Soul'. ...

TRINITY SUNDAY (31 May '26) is observed in the Western Christian liturgical calendar on the first Sunday after Pentecost, while in Eastern Christianity it coincides with Pentecost itself, celebrating the triune nature of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—Amen

In the early Church, there was no fixed feast for the Trinity; devotion was expressed daily through prayers like the 'Gloria Patri':
"Glory be to the Father
and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen."
