Second Hour


“2nd Hour” presentations – 2024.


To explore key aspects of the church’s mission, we often hold a “Second Hour” following the 10 a.m. worship service when we gather to deepen our learning, engage in conversation, renew our commitment   —   and sometimes just share good food.  Even though these discussions occur after Sunday morning worship, there is no expectation that you will attend the service prior to participating in the Second Hour examination of particular topics — they are free and open to the public. Starting around 11:15 a.m., they are held in Community Hall toward the back of our building, near the parking lot.
