SEASONAL

  • We follow the traditional church calendar with its seasons: 
        Advent - the four weeks before Christmas
        Christmas - the twelve days of Christmas
        Epiphany - the 8 weeks from the season of Christmas to the transfiguration of our Lord
        Lent - the 6 weeks from Ash Wednesday to Easter
        Easter - the 7 weeks from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday
        Pentecost - the many weeks from Pentecost Sunday to Advent.
    There are many wonderful traditions tied into all of these seasons.
  • In addition, our voting members meet four times a year to measure how well our present ministries are working as well as to discern new directions and new emphases for our life in Christ.
