Homecoming Sunday
On the Sunday following Labor Day, we celebrate Homecoming Sunday. On this day we gather to greet and to celebrate coming together for the Fall season.


Christmas

Hanging of the Greens ~ We celebrate the anticipation of Christmas, usually on the first Sunday of Advent.  During the service, volunteers adorn our Sanctuary with the symbols that represent our Christmas traditions.  The meaning behind these traditions is described during the service with readings, Bible passages and in song.  The Greening is one of our most beautiful and meaningful services; as we all experience the transformation of the sanctuary with wreaths, garlands, poinsettias and more.
