The Winds and Waves of Race and Privilege. Our church will be represented by David Franks and Louise Mollinger, along with Jeanne Mantsch and Paula Wesley.

OUR 120th ANNIVERSARY

On Sunday afternoon, April 10, 1898, a small group of people met at the Ozaukee County Courthouse and founded the Congregational Church of Port Washington. One of the defining features of this new church was that is was the first church in Port Washington to conduct services in English. Imagine that!

WEDNESDAY LUNCH AT CHURCH

Each Wednesday at Noon, you are invited to meet Jeff at church for lunch and Bible study. The group always takes time to visit before reflecting upon the lectionary reading for the upcoming Sunday. Coffee is always provided, but please bring your own lunch. The last Lunch of the program year is Wednesday, May 23.

MEN’S BREAKFAST

Men in the church are invited to gather for breakfast every Thursday morning, at 8:00, at the Dockside Deli. The group often has fun considering a Question of the Day. If you are able, please come and join the conversation. 

YOGA AT CHURCH

A gentle yoga class is held in Fellowship Hall every Wednesday evening from 5:15 - 6:15. The cost is $10 per class. For more information, please contact Susan Niederfrank at susanniederfrank@gmail.com.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

An AA Group meets at our church every Sunday afternoon at 3:00. For more information, please contact the church office.

GLUTEN FREE COMMUNION

We continue to offer a gluten-free option for receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion. The gluten-free communion bread is purchased commercially, and prepared separately, so that there is no chance of contact with our regular sourdough communion bread.

MISSED CHURCH? 

If you wonder what you missed, CDs of the service are always available in the church office.
