We are excited to announce the expansion of the popular “Come As You Are” worship service. This unique offering, designed to be inclusive and family-friendly, will be held weekly during the Lenten and Easter seasons, starting on March 9, 2025.
The “Come As You Are” service will continue to be held on the third Sunday of each month at 4:00 pm in the Chapel through February (January 19 and February 16). Beginning in Lent, the service will transition to a weekly schedule.
