What’s Happening?

There is a lot going on at this church- check out some of the things coming up!


The Secret Garden

Experience The Secret Garden, a Tony Award–winning musical filled with mystery, hope, and the healing power of nature. This is a family- friendly show with some darker themes, including parent loss. With sweeping music, moving characters, and a message that touches all ages, this production is FREE in the sanctuary—seating is first-come, first-served, but we do ask that you register so we can plan for you. Donations are welcome.

Then, at 6pm, we’ll have our costume parade around the church, starting on the playground and ending in the sanctuary. Children’s choirs will take place at their usual times and there will be playground games available for the duration of dinner. Kids are encouraged to dress up and bring a basket or bag for candy! Deadline to register for dinner is the Sunday before at midnight.
