True to our Congregational roots, the sermon each Sunday is an important part of the worship service.  The Co-pastors try to bring creative and thoughtful messages that will enourage us all to more faithful living in the way of Christ.  The congregation values a faith that can think critically about the biblical texts and the issues of our day, but always expressed in action.
