2026 Worship Schedule
The start of every New Year brings quite a few special Sundays on the Christian liturgical calendar. We begin with Epiphany (twelve days after Christmas) and soon turn to Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent.

In between, we celebrate Baptism of the Lord and Transfiguration Sundays to commemorate events in the life of Jesus and inspire us to live like him. There are  also a few “ordinary” Sundays, in which we will return to  1 Corinthians (which we began last Fall) to learn about God’s love and promise of new life for all. As you make your plans for a fresh start in the New Year, we encourage worship and Bible reading to lift your spirit and bring you closer to God.
