Worship with Second
Confirmation with families in the parking lot, Bible parades and outdoor ice cream celebrations for our first graders, curbside mission work through the Northside Food Pantry – we have found new and creative ways to be the body of Christ and stay engaged. And that will only continue! This month, we are looking ahead with hope and expectation to in-person worship at 11:00 beginning Sunday, September 27. Until then, Sunday worship will remain online only. Scroll down to see more "Information for In-Person Worship." Honoring our commitment to our collective health and the guidelines from the medical community, we believe we can build on the road we’ve traveled and walk forward together in faith!
