Church Listings
Our annual Worship Directory comes at a time of year when many faiths celebrate Easter and Passover. To Christians and Jews these holidays help celebrate resurrection and salvation, freedom from slavery and God’s gift of a new life. Other more secular people mark the season with new growth and life as we emerge from winter into spring. Whether in a formal group, church, synagogue or mosque, or in a private and solitary way, many people are connected to traditions of worship. With this annual publication, we seek to provide a directory of venues and resources that help to draw a picture of the many places of worship within our communities. These are thriving, community-focused and rich cultural centers within our small towns and give us reason to celebrate their presence and give thanks for their prosperity. We are fortunate to have a vibrant and active community of worshipers.
