We are about to embark on the last stretch of Phase 1, and it’s important that you know what to expect, so together, we can continue in community worship and have fellowship with one another.
Celebrate the revelation of Jesus as the Son of God to the wise men who traveled from the east to visit the newborn king. The service concludes with the annual burning of the greens followed by hot chocolate and s’mores.

GROW IN YOUR FAITH: EXPLORE ADULT OFFERINGS
With a diverse range of parish groups, Bible studies, support groups, and various activities, there are countless opportunities to connect, engage, and make lasting friendships. Explore all these offerings and join us.
COMMUNITY BIBLE STUDY
Thursdays | 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. | Room 200
Led by Dr. Elizabeth Lang, Dr. Brady Millican, & Barbara Kennard
After creating Adam, God stated that “it is not good” that humans be alone. As people in Genesis work out how to be “in family,” in times of extraordinary dysfunction or remarkable wonder, what is constant is God’s redemption of his people as they learn how to relate to one another.
