Services
Services are currently offered in person at 7:45 am & 10:00 am.  The Eucharist will be celebrated with bread, but no wine, at both services.  The congregation will sing hymns accompanied by piano and choir music at the 10:00 am service.  Dress is casual.  Please stay for coffee after each service. Children are welcome and childcare for younger children is available in the nursery.
 
The 10:00 am service is available virtually through our LiveStream page. You can also tune in to our YouTube channel to watch videos of past services and events. YouTube offers live captioning services with translation services.​

The church is fully open with indoor worship. In order to attend worship in person, full vaccination is required, and masks are required to be worn. We will have a sign-in sheet upon entry for contact tracing. Please enter the sanctuary only through the main entrance as other doors will remain closed. Although we will have the heater on, we will have the windows open for increased ventilation, so please dress accordingly. Current COVID plans will remain in place until further notice.
 
For more information on DioCal protocols, please visit the COVID-19 Advisories on DioCal website.

Music
Led by a professional choral director, the choir sings a rich variety of music at the 10:00.a.m. service. Children, teens, amateurs and a few professionals join together to lead the congregation in hymns and song, enhancing the spiritual experience of the congregation & the singers.
