Summer Forums

At our church, Sundays take on a different character during the summer months. Instead of our normal worship services, we have Summer Forums—informal presentations on topics of interest. They can range from lecture/discussions to workshops to slide shows, and are presented by members and friends of the church or guest speakers. Upcoming topics are listed on our home page during the summer.

Forums are held at 10:30 on Sunday mornings. First-time visitors are welcome. There are no Sunday school classes, but child care may be provided. For more information, contact the church office.

Forums for 2010 (2011 Forms will be listed in May)
