DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Don’t forget that Daylight Saving Time starts this coming Sunday, March 10. Please remember to set your clocks forward an hour, or else you’ll be late for church!
WOKE! A COMMUNITY CONVERSATION ABOUT RACIAL JUSTICE
Our church has partnered with our two other UCC churches in Ozaukee County, and with two UCC churches in Milwaukee, to form the Southeast Wisconsin Racial Justice Consortium. Together we have planned a five-part Lenten Study Series focused on the issue of racial justice. We will gather on four Sunday afternoons, and one Sunday evening, during the church season of Lent. Please click here for additional information.
FAMILY SERVICE AND CHURCH SCHOOL SUNDAYS
Church School meets on the second Sunday of each month at 10:00. All children 4K through 7th grade are invited to participate. Our next Church School Sunday is this coming Sunday, March 10.
We celebrate a Family Service on the fourth Sunday of each month at 10:00. The service includes the participation of our 8th Grade Confirmation Class and Children's Choirs. Our next Family Service is Sunday morning, March 24.

FELLOWSHIP HOUR ON SUNDAY MORNINGS
We host a Fellowship Hour following our 8:00 service on the first Sunday of each month, and following our 10:00 services on the second and fourth Sundays of each month.
NURSERY
Every Sunday morning during the 10:00 service we provide a nursery for children newborn through 4-years-old. Care is provided by our 8th grade Confirmation students and their families. Parents are required to register their children, and to sign their children in and out of the nursery. We want to do our very best to make the nursery safe and secure.
WEDNESDAY LUNCH AT CHURCH
Every Wednesday at Noon, you are invited to meet Jeff at church for lunch and Bible study. The group always takes time to visit before reflecting upon the lectionary reading for the upcoming Sunday. Coffee is provided, but please bring your own lunch.
MEN’S BREAKFAST
Men in the church are invited to gather for breakfast every Thursday morning, at 8:00, at the Dockside Deli. The group often has fun considering a Question of the Day.
