PRE-LENT EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
The leadership team has made the difficult decision to cancel this evening’s Pre-Lent Event. With today’s snow and ice storm coming with the possibility of receiving a lot of snow accumulation, our members safety is our main concern.
Rev. Geoffrey M. Ross will still hold the Ash Wednesday service both in person and online.
In light of this decision, we will hold a Pancake lunch on Sunday, February 26th, 2023 following the morning service.

It tells about the ministers who have served here since then and includes descriptions of the interior of the current building. The author Mary M.
