Fellowship services start at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday morning. Typically, children join adults in meeting in the Sanctuary, then are later "sung out" to Sunday School. Parents are welcome to accompany them or stay for the remainder of the sanctuary service.
Every Sunday immediately following the service everyone is invited to gather in the Osias Fellowship Hall for coffee and to mingle with friends and greet visitors. This is a good time to catch up on activities and meet new people.
