Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to Sunday worship at 11 am at 1501 Cherry Street, or join on Zoom by asking the office for the link..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Worship lasts about an hour and is held in silence, with no planned hymns or sermon. Anyone may stand to speak if moved to, and visitors are not asked to. Afterward there is a social time with refreshments.
