As a community, we have explored our roots in the Celtic tradition. This summer, we will seek to embody what we have learned. The Lectionary will guide us as we discover the deeper lessons of the Celtic tradition waiting for us in the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. Summertime is a season of sabbath rest, growth, connections, and flourishing. I pray this summer will bring new life and awaken deeper dimensions of faith as we journey with the Celts.

Worship

9 a.m. Contemporary Worship | 11 a.m. Traditional Worship

Summer Choir

You are invited to sing with the Summer Choir this summer on all Sundays from May 26 through September 1 this year. Singers meet in Emmanuel Hall at 10:15  AM to rehearse easy-to-learn music for the 11:00  AM Worship Service.  Robes will not be worn. This is a wonderful opportunity to give singing in a choir a try and for current Sanctuary Choir members to bring a friend!
