Our Meeting Space

If you look up our address and you’re confused about being directed to a Jewish Temple, you’re on the right track! We are a Mennonite congregation sharing space with Temple B’nai Jeshurun. Since the Temple meets on Friday nights, the space is available for us on Sunday mornings. We are so grateful for our generous and hospitable hosts!

Parking

There is parking on the north side of the temple and street parking along Shriver Ave and Country Club Blvd.

Main Doors

Enter through the double doors on the west side of the parking lot. Follow the green arrows on the above map to go up the stairs to the fellowship hall. This entrance is fully accessible. Please do note, that in respect for our hosts, the doors lock 10 minutes after the service begins.

formation and worship service

During the school year, we hold youth and adult formation in the downstairs classrooms on Sunday mornings at 8:45 a.m. Our Worship service begins right after and is located upstairs in the Fellowship Hall at 10 a.m.

communion

If you have been baptized at any time into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we invite you to take communion. If you have not been so baptized, we still welcome you forward to receive a prayer of blessing – simply cross your hands across your chest when approaching the server. We use non-alcoholic wine and make our own gluten-free bread.

accommodations

If you’re in need of any accommodations to worship with us, please contact us via the contact form at the bottom of the page. We regularly hire a sign interpreter, but need advance notice to ensure that one is scheduled if you request one.
