Sun, Oct 11 · 9:20 AM EDT
Join us for a welcoming Sunday morning of brunch, conversation, a brief community meeting, and uplifting worship.
We’ll gather before service for a relaxed brunch, coffee, and introductions. During the community meeting, attendees can share ideas for future group activities, local outings, service projects, and other ways to build a positive, connected community. Whether you have lots of ideas or simply want to listen and meet people, you are welcome.
At 10:00 AM, everyone is invited to attend worship together. This gathering is a great option for anyone new to the area, returning to church after time away, curious about faith, or simply looking for a positive place to connect on Sunday morning. Come as you are—there is no pressure to join, give money, speak publicly, or participate beyond your comfort level.
