For those who enjoy starting their day with Holy Communion, a Lay Led worship service with prayer, scripture, brief meditation, and Holy Communion is available each Sunday at 8:00 a.m. in Room 101. (Note: In our United Methodist tradition, all are invited and welcome to share in Holy Communion.)
Adult Study 9:00 a.m.
Join us in Room 103 for an engaging discussion on various sections of the Bible, its contents, and learn more about the background of those of whom it is written and their lives. This is a wonderful way to experience fellowship and learn more about the Bible.

Refreshments are available in the Fellowship Hall (or occasionally on the patio). Everyone is welcome and a special invitation is extended to newcomers to come over to the Hall before worship for refreshments and an opportunity to get acquainted.
Worship Service at 10:00 a.m.
The worship service, led by Senior Pastor Tom Jelinek, is traditional in liturgy, music, and preaching.
