Pet Blessing — October 4 at 9 am
On October 4, we will welcome pets into the 9 am worship service for a special time of blessing. We recognize God’s love, care, and concern for creation. Whether person or animal, we all belong to each other in the peace and unity of God.
We ask that all animals who are brought to the services be fully-socialized and on a leash or in a carrier.
Breakfast Church — October 11 at 9 am
About every six weeks, we do a special worship service called "Breakfast Church" during our modern service with food made by the BBQ club, music, and discussion. An RSVP is not necessary but helps us plan for the right amount of people.

Children's Sabbath is a special service led by the children of the church. The message will be preached by Kim Carroll.
