Upcoming Service

We Shall Be Known By the Company We Keep

April 20, 2025

As we explore Luke 24:1-12,  an Easter story in which the tomb where Jesus was buried is surprisingly found to be empty, what lessons can we learn from the named and unnamed women who followed Him, whose actions, compassion, courage, steadfastness, and sisterhood sparked major change in the world?

Children and youth in kindergarten through 12th grade will be meeting in person in their classes after being present in the sanctuary for the first part of the service. The nursery is available for babies and children from 6 weeks to 5 years old during the entire service period. You may choose either option for your child if they are 5 years old.

To attend a worship service via Zoom, click here.

Masks are optional in the sanctuary.
