EVENING WORSHIP
Join us for the evening service each week at

WHAT TO EXPECT
At Sunday services, you will hear the reading of Old and New Testament Scriptures, congregational and choral singing, corporate prayers of confession and thanksgiving, and preaching from the Bible.
WHAT TO WEAR?
You will see a range from dressy to casual. Our goal as we gather is to look to our great God and make him the focus. All are welcome!
