Starting June 29, we’re taking worship on the move! Due to some needed restoration work on our sanctuary ceiling, we’ll temporarily relocate Sunday services to Alfriend Hall for 6 to 8 weeks. Everything you love about worship—music, preaching, Communion, and community—will still be there, just in a new setting. Think of it as “Summer Church”: same Spirit, different space, with a little extra flexibility. On June 25, the 12:10 p.m. Wednesday Healing Service will shift to Killeen Hall.
Below are answers to common questions about the change. Click here to watch Fr. Lonnie’s May 25 sermon where he discusses summer worship.

Q: Why are we changing worship locations this summer?
Our sanctuary ceiling has developed mold. We have had it professionally tested, and it is not harmful. It does, however, need to be cleaned and treated. This restoration work requires us to vacate the sanctuary for about 6 to 8 weeks.
Q: When will this begin?
We’ll move out of the sanctuary starting Sunday, June 29.
Q: Where will worship be held during this time?
Sunday worship will take place in Alfriend Hall while the sanctuary ceiling is being restored.
Q: What will worship be like in Alfriend Hall?
Everything you love about worship remains the same: Communion, music, sermons, just in a different room! The relaxed summer setting may even give us space to try a few creative touches, but the heart of our worship remains unchanged.
Q: How long will we be in Alfriend Hall?
We expect to worship there for about 6 to 8 weeks.
Q: Is help needed with the transition?
Yes! We need volunteers to help with weekly setup and takedown. If you’re willing to help, please contact Junior Warden Kathy Bye or click here to sign up.
Q: Do I need to contribute financially to this restoration?
Nope! The funds for the ceiling work are already secured. No fundraising appeal is being made.
Q: What about the Wednesday 12:10 healing service?
The Wednesday service will take place in Killeen Hall starting June 25.
Q: Will Vacation Bible School and Choir School Camp still happen?
Yes! Both VBS and Choir School Camp will continue as planned.
Q: What about livestreaming services?
We’re actively working on livestreaming options from Alfriend Hall to keep our online community connected.
Q: What should I do?
Stay flexible, faithful, and joyful—and come to church! Your presence matters, no matter the room.
