Community Thanksgiving 2023Scroll down for information about livestreamed services.
Some people argue that Christmas is a religious holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus. Others argue that it’s become a secular holiday celebrating the purchase of lots of gifts. The answer may depend on where you start from.
Join us for this Intergenerational service.
We’ll sing some Yuletide carols — Christian, Pagan, and secular songs — and hear the stories behind each one.
All is calm, all is bright, and all are welcome at this feel-good, festive service!
Join us in the Atkinson Living Room of the Parish House (23 N. Main St.) for a special New Year’s Eve Day service.
The order of service for the coming Sunday is posted here by Friday. You can use the order of service to follow along with the livestream service. *Please note, summer services (end of June thru end of August) do not follow an order of service nor are they live-streamed.
