"RISE UP" is an acronym: Rockaway Interfaith Services to Empower the Unemployed and Powerless.

Ever wonder where we obtain the "wording" for our worship liturgies? For several years we have had a subscription to receive materials from "Sundays and Seasons", an organization fully endorsed by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This group provides our varying confession litanies, prayers, responsive readings, texts, hymn suggestions and more.
Did you know; Our facility is fully handicapped accessible, including restrooms? And we offer several front door parking spaces in our lot for those who are physically and medically challenged.
Choir Rehearsal every Sunday 10am. New voices are always welcome!
