Calendar

Come join the drum circle during worship at 10am on Oct 7. Hear rhythms and drums from various parts of the world throughout the service. Percussionist Ken Fordyce will lead us through some rhythms with drums, inviting kids and adults to join in creating a heartbeat of the world. We partner this with a celebration of World Communion Sunday. The choir will sing with percussion accompaniment, too. (No children’s Sunday school, so they can participate in the unique service.)

We are still in planning stages as of this time.
