Watch this space for updates on Sunday's service...coming soon!

::: Services Information :::
While our Sunday services begin at 11 a.m. and children and youth are included, we now have an adult prayer/study group that meets at 10:15 in the sanctuary and all are welcome. During the regular church services, children and youth enjoy sharing in the singing, lighting of the candles, participating in communion, collecting offerings, and more. The youth read the scriptures during the service. During the middle of the service, Pastor Ernie invites the children to the front for a “Children's Sermon” after which they are dismissed for their own classes in the Education Wing. Children and youth remain in the sanctuary during the first Sunday of each month. This gives them the opportunity to take communion and give the teachers a respite. Special services and holidays tend to be very visual and our children and youth are included in these services as well.

Salute the last and evrlasting day,
Joy at the uprising of this Sun, and Son,
Ye whose just tears, or tribulation
Have purely washed, or burnt your drossy clay;
Behold the Highest, parting hence away,
Lightens the dark clouds, which treads upon,

Nor doth he by ascending, show alone,
But first he, and he first enters the way.
O strong Ram, which hast battered heaven for me,
Mild Lamb, which with thy blood, hast marked the path;
Bright Torch, which shin'st, that I may see,
Oh, with thy own blood quench thy own just wrath,
And if thy holy Spirit, my Muse did raise,
Deign at my hands this crown of prayer and praise.

-- Ascention by John Donne
