Worship in Community of Hope
Summer Worship 9:30 am
Join us for worship during the summer months on Sundays at 9:30 am.
8/7/22 -Isaiah openly denounces empty
displays of virtuousness that are not backed by real actions of justice.
This week at worship we will look at the difference between our rituals and
the action we take. Are we walking the walk? This is also a Communion
Sunday-- join us to share in Jesus' open table.

 Our
Roots
In 1957, four denominations rooted in the Protestant Reformation joined
together to form the United Church of Christ. Its member churches live in a
loving covenant with one another and with God as revealed in Jesus Christ
and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This covenant preserves the autonomy of
the local congregation. The unity that we seek requires neither an
uncritical acceptance of any point of view nor a rigid formulation of
doctrine. We believe in responsible freedom—we embrace individual
expressions of faith, and the individual questioning and seeking of God’s
presence in our lives. We believe that we are called to minister to others
and seek to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, God with us.
