Feel free to bring a friend or family member.

Make space for fun in a laid-back environment (or, for the highly competitive, show us your skills!) Bring a snack to share if you wish.
Sacred Space: Evensong and Prayer
Oct. 5, 5:30 p.m., Nov. 2, 5:30 p.m.
Location: Sanctuary
Join us for a Sunday evening service of music, prayer, and reflection-a gentle invitation to rest, renew, and reconnect with God as we prepare for the week ahead. Rooted in the centuries-old tradition of evensong, this service draws from a rich heritage of evening worship that has offered peace, perspective, and spiritual nourishment to generations of believers. Come as you are to pause at the end of the day, centering yourself in praise and prayer before God, and stepping into the new week with grace and intention.
