Starting Sunday, June 8, 2025, worship will begin at 10:00 a.m. instead of 10:30 a.m. We’ll follow this new “Summer Hours” schedule through August 31.
Summer is the perfect time to explore new possibilities, including how worship fits into the flow of our Sundays.
We recognize that this summer is already a season of transition. As our minister retires at the end of May, the Worship Team is committed to holding steady, ensuring meaningful services are in place throughout the summer. “Summer Hours” is one way we’re approaching this moment with care, creativity, and curiosity.
Some in our community have shared that an earlier start helps them stay connected to worship while still making it to other Sunday plans. Others simply enjoy having a bit more space in the day once church ends.
Of course, not everyone will love the change—and that’s okay! This is an experiment, and your feedback will help shape what comes next.
Our Board of Directors approved this change as a limited summer trial, with the intent to revisit it thoughtfully in the fall.
We’ll be asking for your input in August as we reflect on how “Summer Hours” worked and what we might carry forward.
