Events

We’re all figuring out new ways to “do church” in this world of social distancing. This means that many of our events and groups are meeting virtually, through the Zoom platform. If you would like help learning to use Zoom, contact our Communications Director, Ryan Hennesy. 

If you’re trying to sign up for In-Person Outdoor Worship, you can do that on our Outdoor Worship page.

Here is a calendar of the (mostly online) events we have going on: 

Click on the day of the week you’d like to show its contents.

Online Worship LIVE: While the building is closed, the church will gather together every Sunday at 10am for music, prayer, and preaching through our Facebook page. You do not need to have a Facebook account to watch this live-streaming video, but those who are logged in will be able to interact with the pastors during worship by sharing prayers and more. Check out what’s coming this Sunday and print your own copy of the lyrics and scripture on our Online Worship page.

Sunday School: From babies through youth, Sunday School is being offered online each week through videos and family activities/discussions, streamed at 9:30am on Sundays, before worship. Check out the lessons posted each week that can be completed on your schedule. Youth Sunday school will also meet via Zoom weekly at 9:30am. Follow the Sunday School link for the log-in info.

Adult Sunday School: Join the 11th Hour Bible Study, currently studying Acts, led by Reid Reininger on Sundays at 11:30am. Newcomers welcome at any time. Contact Reid to receive the weekly email discussion topics and questions.

UMYF: Our life is full of change and challenge, and our youth ministry is no exception. After a necessary break from Zoom, our MYF is ready to resume with new and creative programming. Rev. Lee and the team of counselors have been working hard, with input from the youth themselves, to keep MYF as interesting, fun, and meaningful for our youth as it ever was.

MYF for grades 7-12 meet weekly! We are meeting outside from 4-5:15pm, as weather permits. Bring a chair and a mask. In the event of rain, we will meet 6-7:15pm on Zoom:
