MONTHLY HAPPENINGS ...

On Second Tuesdays of the Month at 11:00 a.m. - Rhythm & Food Drum Circle - Adults
Rhythm & Food - Adults - feeds body, mind & spirit through a shared lunch and recreational music-making, using an evidence-based whole person strategy called HealthRhythms©. HealthRhythms© promotes community and ensures a healthy non-strenuous workout. Adults are invited to find that center in your soul where your heart is strengthened by joy, celebration, rhythm, and food. Rhythm & Food - Adults takes place every second Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Drums are provided - no experience required - lunch is provided - and it’s FREE! Put your hand on your heart - feel the beat - we all have a drum within us! RSVP's are helpful in planning the meal, but if you forget to RSVP and want to join in the drumming and lunch, you are invited. To RSVP, CLICK HERE to email Pastor Lyda. Upcoming dates: August 13th at 11:00 a.m.

IN PERSON WORSHIP ...
​
Sunday Mornings at 10:00 a.m. - In Person Worship
Our new worship series, "Drawn In: Living the Creative Life with God" begins Sunday, August 4, 2024. We spend too much time being "driven" rather than "drawn in." We focus on what we "should" do rather than what we feel excited and compelled to do in our lives. During this worship series, we will connect with our inherent creativity and nurture this foundational aspect of being human, giving us renewed energy for passionate work, delightful play, and creative problem solving to make this world a better place for all.
​
​
ON LINE WORSHIP ...
​
Sunday Mornings at 8:00 a.m., join us via Zoom for Breakfast Church! It's informal and there is room for everyone at our virtual table. At Breakfast Church, we will explore scripture through questions and conversation. You are invited to grab your favorite breakfast goodies, a cup of coffee, your laptop, computer or smartphone and log in through a Zoom meeting invitation at 8:00 a.m. On the first Sunday of each month, we will have virtual Communion during Breakfast Church. For the Zoom Breakfast Church invitation, please CLICK HERE.
​
​
OTHER ON LINE EXPERIENCES ...
Morning Prayer Check-In - Wednesday Mornings from 7:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m., you are invited to meet via Zoom for a time of check-in and prayer. There is a time of checking in with each other, celebrating things that went well during the week, and sharing the challenging stuff. We will discover where God is in our daily experiences and end with a time of prayer for ourselves, our loved ones, and for the world. Morning Prayer Check-In meets each Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. All are invited! For a Zoom invitation, please email Pastor Lyda.
​​
Zoom Prayer Check-In is on hiatus the month of September. We look forward to praying with you on October 9th at 7:30 a.m.
