Join us on Mount Crumpit!

This year, our sermon series and Sunday school classes are using the classic tale How the Grinch Stole Christmas! to explore the story of the Nativity. This series entitled, Heart That Grew Three Sizes, is a powerful and fun way to bring our entire community of faith together. Join us as we imagine how our hearts might grow in preparation to receive the Christ Child.
