Worship Services

A Place Called Home. Rev. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching; Cassie Winters, Worship Associate. Every Hallmark Movie shown this month will revolve around the idea of being home for the holidays. This morning we will talk about "Home" as a place on the map and as a place in your heart. What does home mean to you? How can you create — or recreate — this idea of home so that it is a source of loving comfort? Come, come, whoever you are. Come home. Join us for worship in-person and online.

It's Sunday Morning. Rev. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching; Susan Hendricks, Worship Associate. We know it is Christmas Eve, and many of us look forward to the special customs we share with friends and family around this special day. For some of us, this is one more Sunday morning and we would like to be in church. Wherever you fall on this spectrum, if you are seeking company in a scared space, please come join us. We will sing and reflect and share as we experience one more Sunday Morning. Join us for worship in-person and online.

The Thread. Chaplain Michael Eselun, preaching; Chela Metzger, Worship Associate.
