Please join us for one or both of our Easter services. There will be a sunrise service at 7 am at the fire pits at Twin Lakes Beach and a more traditional service at 10:30 am in the sanctuary.

This year we are encouraging you to bring lilies or daffodils or tulips to the beach or to church on Easter Sunday and place them in the sand or across the front of the platform. You may include a note on the pot if your flowers are in memory of or in honor of a loved one.
