Stay Connected

If you're a regular attender, you'll want to sign up for the Friday email, prayer chain, listen to sermons you missed, and more.

Sherman Street Email Lists

Every Friday the church office sends out an email containing important announcements. We also send out periodic updates from the council or other committees.

Prayer Chain emails are sent out when there's a matter for prayer. Our desire is to have all members and regular attenders receive email prayer requests so that needs, joys and sorrows will be lifted in prayer by the entire worshiping community.
