CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR
OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN HAITI
Our prayers go out to all those affected by the earthquake in Haiti and to those who are struggling to bring relief. Donations to the relief effort there can be made through The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). 100% of gifts will go to help the people of Haiti. To donate on line or for more information, go to www.umc.org.

Our Mission

We are an open, caring community of faith, brought together by the Grace of God, committed to creating an environment of growth and healing through the example of Jesus Christ.

We believe in holding hands, in singing, dancing, laughing, crying together; in feeding the hungry in body and in spirit, in healing, in the Grace of God, in Jesus and His teachings; in the power of prayer; in small, everyday miracles; in the wonder of children; in the story of the butterfly.

The Butterfly is a symbol for this church community of a new day dawning and the happiness that goes with a new life in Christ. Come and join us in worshipping the Lord. May that new life-changing source of God's peace dwell with you!

Come enjoy Sunday morning with us.
