OUR 120th ANNIVERSARY
On Sunday afternoon, April 10, 1898, a small group of people met at the Ozaukee County Courthouse and founded the Congregational Church of Port Washington. One of the defining features of this new church was that is was the first church in Port Washington to conduct services in English. Imagine that!
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. If you are able, please come and join the conversation.

A gentle yoga class is held in Fellowship Hall every Wednesday evening from 5:15 - 6:15. The cost is $10 per class. For more information, please contact Susan Niederfrank at susanniederfrank@gmail.com.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS
An AA Group meets at our church every Sunday afternoon at 3:00. For more information, please contact the church office.
GLUTEN FREE COMMUNION
We continue to offer a gluten-free option for receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion. The gluten-free communion bread is purchased commercially, and prepared separately, so that there is no chance of contact with our regular sourdough communion bread.
MISSED CHURCH?
If you wonder what you missed, CDs of the service are always available in the church office.
