Welcome Sunday
September 13, 2026 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
We invite our church family, extended family, and friends to join us for the celebration of another beginning of the fall season in our Church on the Green. We begin with one worship service at 10am. Immediately following the service, we process out to the front steps for our annual all-church photograph…and then we proceed to the backyard for our picnic under the shade of the old chestnut tree. We invite our members to reach out and ask friends, neighbors, and family to join us for this special service; that they may experience first-hand what is so special about our congregation.
