Come to encourage, support and remind our youth that their faith matters.

Activity bags will be available for littles who may need some quiet activities while remaining in the worship space. Please see Sarah Van Oss for a bag.

THE OUTLET - Invites You: 
The Outlet is hosting a 3-week series called Faithful & Inclusive: The Bible, Sexuality, and the United Methodist Church.
Join them on June 7, 21, & 28 for open conversation as they explore passages in the Bible related to homosexuality and make space for questions, discussion, and personal reflection.

Choose the time that works best for you:

Come with your questions and curiosity. There’s room for honest conversation and community at the table.
