Welcome to Worship We are happy to have you with us and wish you a warm welcome. If you would like more information about our church and its ministries, please look for a member of the Welcoming Team by the TV after the service for information and a gift.

Welcome to Worship Attention families: Located just outside of the Sanctuary doors you will find activity bags and clip boards for kids to explore and use. Please feel free to take one to your seat and return it to the same location when you are finished.
