Wheelchair Lift Now Available

We are pleased to announce that we now have an enclosed wheelchair lift available to our members and guests. The new lift became operational on December 8, 2008.

Handicap Accessibile Restroom

In an effort to accomodate our mobility-challenged members and visitors, we are pleased to announce that we have installed a new restroom next to the Sanctuary to meet their needs. Then generous giving of our members and the Andrew Eggemeyer Memorial Fund have made this addition possible.

Annual Meeting of the Congregation

The next Annual Meeting is tentatively scheduled after Worship on January 16, 2011.

Prayer Requests

We now have a page dedicated to prayer requests. We ask that you include the requests on this page in your prayers. You may also feel free to submit prayer requests of your own. All prayer requests are reviewed by Pastor Bean before being posted on our website.

Holy Communion Celebrated Every Sunday

We gather for worship as the body of Christ each Sunday to praise and give thanks to God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our faith is strengthened, nourished and renewed through Word and Sacrament. With joy and thanksgiving, we celebrate Holy Communion at each worship service. We confess Christ's real and true presence in, with, and under the wine and bread; for the building up of faith and the forgiveness of Sin.
