Programs & Events

Upcoming Events

We hold some of our programs in a hybrid format, with some gathering in person and others joining via Zoom. 

“Come as You Are” Christmas Pageant

Sunday, December 22, 10:00am

We invite everyone to share the joy by participating with us in our “Come as You Are” Christmas Pageant.

  • No rehearsals, no lines to learn.
  • You get to choose which role you want to play in the pageant.
  • Simple costumes and props will be supplied.
  • Narrators will invite the players to come forward when it’s time.


We’ll sing lots of carols, and have a joyful, informal service of celebration as we tell again the great good news of God-With-Us!

Bible Study

Mondays, 1pm, in the Pastor’s Office or the Zoom Room

We’re reading from Marcus Borg’s Evolution of the Word: The New Testament in the Order the Books Were Written, and everyone is welcome to join us in person or on Zoom. Our general format is to read the introductory material for each section, then read through the Biblical texts and talk about what it meant for early Christians and what it might mean for us today.

Zoom Happy Hour

Fridays, 5–6pm

After more than four years of “Zooming” together, our weekly social-distance gathering is still going strong. All are invited to bring your own beverage and join the conversation on Friday evenings for this social hour in the Zoom room. It’s a great way to keep in touch with friends near and far.
