We gather on the patio every Sunday through Labor Day weekend at 8:30 am or in the Chapel if it’s raining (or too darn hot). If you’ve never been before, we encourage you to give it a try.

At the present time, there are no plans to zoom any of the Fisherman’s Services. If that changes over the summer, we will let you know.
