While we look forward to seeing you every Sunday, we understand there are times when you just can't make it to a service. Now, you can still benefit from the insights and teachings of Pastor Ken Evitts.

1. Sunday, October 18th we return for worship indoors at St. John’s Center UCC. Worship will begin at 10:15 am. Live-streaming of the worship service via YouTube will continue.

We will expand the list of greeters to include other members of the congregation as we move forward.
