worshipPlease join us at our worship services held on Sundays at 10:00 am in our sanctuary.  On the first Sunday of each month we celebrate the Lord's Supper.   What to expect when you come Sunday mornings:
  • Monthly communion by intinction on the first Sunday;
  • No fashion police - come as you are;
  • plenty of parking;
  • coffee hour following worship;
  • Sunday school and nursery care available during worship;
  • men's and women's restrooms located off fellowship hall and in nursery;
  • handicap-accessible building, sanctuary and restrooms
During the summer we take advantage of beautiful Vermont days outdoors by worshiping on boats, in parks and in our own "backyard" overlooking the Connecticut River.backyard

Our choir sings for our worship services on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month, as well as all Sundays during Advent and Lent.  We rehearse on Thursday nights (September through June) at 5:00 pm.  All levels of musical experience (and inexperience) are welcome.choir
