Our Next Service –
"A Word to the Wise" Rev. Richard M. Stower
- Our Wayside Pulpit often has words that are proverbs; some ancient, some modern. As people walk or drive by I wonder how much people reflect on these sayings. How can we put these fews words, fraught with meaning, into our daily activity; how can we make them a part of our life?
Religious Education for Children and Youth
"Little Lights" child care for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners is available downstairs in the vestry every Sunday from 9:45-11:15 a.m.
Children from the ages of 5-12 will remain with their parents until after the Moment for All Ages. Following the Moment for All Ages we will meet in the U-House for Religious Education classes.
