Senior Choir-continues to rehearse at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. We rehearse and sing in service almost weekly, but there will be some pre-planned days off. We can always use additional singers and you do not have to make a weekly commitment to be a part of the choir. High school aged and above are welcome.

Social Justice Team
Our Social Justice Team started meeting on March 24th. Our number one concern was "Poverty and Homelessness."
This group determined a feasible goal would be to look into establishing a warming shelter to provide a hospitable place in Watertown for those out in the cold.
* You are invited to the next Social Justice Team meeting on Sunday, November 17th 11:30 a.m. at our church. Contact the church office with questions .
