There is plenty of parking and  the main entrance is the one with the canopy (where you may drop people off in  bad weather or if they need assistance).
Someone will greet you at the  door.  The worship space is to the right, and the restrooms are to the  left. 

Visitors are always welcomed warmly.  You are invited  to contact us if you'd like more information before attending for a first  time.

A Prayer for Memorial Day
Jesus said,
“Greater love has no one than this:
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” 
As we gather this Memorial Day
may we remember the love shown us
through those who laid down their lives
both figuratively and literally
in service to this nation
seeking freedom, peace, liberty, and justice for all.

God of all creation, hear our prayer
as we gather this day to commemorate
and commend to you those who served
and laid down their lives in service to this nation through the various wars and conflicts
in human history
so that others may live in freedom. 
We praise and thank you for the gift of their lives and the great sacrifice they have made
in seeking peace, liberty and justice for all.

We also lift into your care
those who still mourn the loss of a loved one, friend, and/or comrade. 
May you comfort them
and place within them your peace
that goes beyond all human understanding. 

We pray for all who are in leadership positions, that they may turn to you
seeking your will and wisdom
as they guide this nation.

We pray for your protection
for those who are still serving on land,
in the air, and on the sea, not only physically,
but for their mental, emotional,
and spiritual well-being too. 
As it says in America the Beautiful,
may the success of their efforts be nobleness
and every gain divine. 
For those who have returned home
shattered by the visions and memories of war
may you bring healing and wholeness
back into their lives.

Bless our young people,
may they never experience the ugliness of war
or the depths of cruelty to which humans can sink.  Should they encounter evil,
protect their souls from giving into evil
and guide them in your ways
so that they may be a part
of the healing of the nations. 

We pray for those places around the world
where war, oppression, and violence
are a very present reality. 
May you break their hearts of stone
and fill their hearts with your life giving love
so that one day all may live in peace. 
​Amen
