Gracious God, help me shine Your love and light to others every day.
It is with a deeply bittersweet mix of profound sorrow and immense gratitude that we share news of an impending transition. Our beloved church building will open its doors for its final communal worship service on September 27, 2026.
This decision, while necessary, carries significant emotional weight for our congregational family, marking the culmination of 100 years dedicated to shared faith, fellowship, and service within these walls. As we prepare to close this chapter, our hearts are profoundly moved to extend an extraordinary and unconditional invitation to everyone.
Whether you have been a lifelong member, an occasional visitor, or someone who has never before graced our sanctuary, we warmly encourage you to join us on this poignant day. Our desire is to transcend any prior acquaintance or familiarity; there is no expectation, no judgment, only an earnest yearning for communal connection. In the spirit of boundless acceptance and love that has guided us through the years, we aspire to create an atmosphere where every soul who enters feels genuinely welcomed and immediately at home. We wish for you to experience the embrace of open arms, to be treated not merely as a guest, but as an immediate and cherished part of our extended family. This final gathering is an opportunity to share in reflection, gratitude, and a testament to the enduring power of community, one last time within these sacred spaces.
“Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.” Mark 9:37
