Café Worship Wednesdays at 6:00 pm If you or someone you know is not attending church anywhere, Café Worship may be the answer. We invite everyone to come and check it out, especially those who may be questioning whether or not “church” is for them. Don’t worry about what to wear! Come get to know God in this casual and worshipful environment. There is beautiful acoustic guitar music with great vocals in a coffee-house setting, where you can hear God’s message. There will be something to snack on and, of course, lots of coffee. There is time to relax, make new friends and visit with old ones before and after the service. Located in Barton Hall.
