Facebook Live Worship Service
This week, because we are having trouble with our cameras and video equipment in the sanctuary, we are going to try Facebook Live.  The video will not be like it has been before, but it will allow us to show the service as we work to get our cameras and video equipment back to working order.

Click on the button below to go to our Facebook page and see the service live!
