Sunday Services FAQ

 What  type of services do you have?  We have a variety of services.  Every week is different.  Some services are led by members of the congregation; some have a sermon by our minister or a visiting minister. 

 Most services include music; some are all music.  Usually no participation by the congregation is required.

Children who are 3, or out of diapers are welcome in the Pre-school class, which includes children up through age 5, or kindergarteners.  This class meets every Sunday, except when the service is an intergenerational service and families attend together.
