Singing Our Faith

Fourth Sunday Study: Singing Our Faith

Every Fourth Sunday from 9:10 to 10:00 am


  • In Person (Smoot Conference Room)
  • AND on Zoom


Join us every 4th Sunday for Singing Our Faith—exploring the church year through Scripture and hymns. Led by parishioners, we consider the theology of scripture and hymns, how they speak to us in different seasons, and how these practices can deepen our faith. Drop in for any or all discussions, no preparation necessary. Questions? Please contact Kim Clark Pakstys. Learn more HERE.
