Worship Service You are invited to join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 10am for a worship service with combined contemporary and traditional worship elements. Childcare for toddlers is available during the service, and Godly Play is offered for Pre-K through 5th grade, except for the first Sunday of the month, when all of God’s children are invited to worship for Holy Communion.
