Please join us to welcome them and all the positive impact they have in our community!
Camp & Youth Sunday: February 12th
On Sunday, February 12th, we will celebrate Camp Sunday. While we are looking forward to Camp Pyoca in the summer and encourage campers who have attended before to wear their Pyoca swag, feel free to wear any t-shirt from any camp you have attended!
Children and youth will be our worship leaders for the day. Following worship, we will have camp games in the Pavilion (replacing Sprout and Middle School Sunday School).

Sunday Morning Bible Study in the North Chapel at 11:15 a.m. On February 5th, we will start our overview of the origins of Music and its impact on sacred music. We will look at the music of Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, and the musical instruments of the Old and New Testaments. We will look briefly of how music has been used and adapted to meet the needs of the last 2,000 years with a focus on sacred music trends of the last 500 years. This is an overview and barely scrapes the surface of a vital and essential element of our worship and our musical heritage. If you would like to look at the discussion of the different types of music, please see the downloadable syllabus below.
