Beginning May 25 (Memorial Day Weekend) through Labor Day, we will have one time of worship on Sundays at 10:00AM.  Child care will be provided.

The last Jazz Worship service for 2007-2008 will be Saturday, May 17th.

Dave Ferreira Trio plays weeklyJazz Worship on Saturday evenings fits into the schedules of many people who otherwise would not make it to worship.  Pastor Julie Tweit refers to a visitor recently who commented that the unusual timing is perfect for her full schedule, which includes caring for an elderly aunt.

"This is an ideal way for me to get renewed and refreshed," she said.  "I get the music, the Scriptures, the message behind the Scriptures - everything in 45 minutes.  When I come, it makes the rest of my day and my week go so much better."

We hope that the service will change many people's view on church in general.

The idea of "feeding your soul at dinner time" makes sense to many who would skip church if this service was not available.  Although attendance ranges from 30-90, we could accommodate as many as God leads here.  Given the casual setting around tables with coffee and treats, the experience feels both solitary and communal.

The sermons are congenial and seldom preachy.  "It gives people a place for their souls to rest, so they might be led by the Spirit to explore God's peace in their lives," Pastor Julie explains.  There's no rousing choir.  Visitors are invited to pray, join the singing of traditional hymns, wish each other peace, and enjoy performances by several local performers who are renown in the local music jazz scene.
