Easter Congregation

Worship in the Sanctuary and Online at 10:30 am Sundays.

Worship is central to the life of our congregation, gathering our community at 10:30 am each Sunday to pray, sing, enjoy beautiful music, and listen to sermons that connect God’s Word with our daily lives. Our doors – physical and virtual – are open to all and our Sunday worship reflects our inclusive, united, and uniting denomination. Please come visit!

Our pastor Rev. Ellen Jennings preaches most Sundays, with a congregation member or guest minister adding their perspective periodically. These sermons examine scripture through an historical and literary lens while addressing real life questions and concerns, often with a bit of poetry or song.

Once a month we share communion and our table is open to all – anyone who wishes to participate in this sacrament may do so.

Each year we hold several multigenerational worship services, such as the Christmas Pageant and Blessing of the Animals, and we regularly celebrate baptisms and other life cycle events.

Fellowship & More

Following each Sunday service, we join together for what has been lovingly labeled “the finest Coffee Hour in Christendom.” This warm and welcoming time of fellowship features a variety of treats prepared by our members.

After Coffee Hour, we frequently offer an Adult Programs event, including workshops, presentations, and discussions.

Children Are Welcome

If you have a child, we have a place for them in our hearts, our worship service, and our Sunday School. Children participate in a portion of each Sunday’s worship service and then join our excellent Sunday School teachers for class around 11:00 am. They’re also welcome to stay in the service.

For infants and toddlers we offer free, skilled childcare from 10:15 to 11:45 am each Sunday. They are, of course, also welcome in the sanctuary.

We believe children should be both seen and heard, and we look forward to hearing their unique perspectives during the Time for All Ages each Sunday.
