A tradition the neighborhood looks forward to.

We give away pumpkins, have hay rides, apple bobbing, games, treasure hunts, food and great fun as we welcome the fall season. Held on a Saturday in October.

Each year the children rehearse from mid November until the second or third Sunday of December. Past programs have included the Rainbow Family Puppets and the children in Christmas musical productions.

Another major musical presentation of the Adult Choir. Held on a Sunday morning near

Christmas during the 10:45 a.m. service.

One of the most wonderful services of the

year. Held at 6:30 p.m., the service lasts

only one hour to allow families to still celebrate

Christmas Eve together at home.

A complete musical program presented by the Adult Choir. Presented on Palm Sunday during the 10:45 a.m. service

Held during the first week of August, for all children from age 3 through 6th grade. Sessions are held in the evening from Monday through Friday with a closing program and carnival

event on Saturday to wrap up the week. A great way to prepare your children for returning to, or starting, school. Daily lessons stand alone so children can get a complete understanding each day. Crafts, snacks, games and lots of fun for children - and the youth and adults who present the program.

On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, the members of the congregation are given the opportunity to speak, sing, recite, etc. to show what they are thankful for. A very moving and sentimental service each year.
