  • Fellowship

    Fellowship – Fellowship is an important part of the life of a member, especially on Sunday morning.  After worship, we move to Jubilee Hall for coffee, tea, juices and light snacks. The Sunday School children join us for an intergenerational time of socializing.  Our Easter breakfast, held after the 8 am service, is very well attended (usually Jubilee Hall is filled to capacity).  Lenten suppers before the mid-week Lenten services and other potluck meals are also very popular.

    Worship Services at Nursing and Retirement Homes - Our Pastor and organist conduct worship services in the various nursing and retirements homes in the area.
