Our worship services are held at 9:30 every Sunday morning—both onsite and online—and usually last about an hour. You will notice that we enjoy being together and joining together in all the parts of our worship.
We enjoy both traditional and contemporary music drawn from a wide range of sources, expressed both in our congregational singing, choir and guest musicians. We have “The New Century Hymnal” in the pews and use printed inserts from other sources.
We invite “Prayers of the People” by writing a prayer concern on a green card found in the hymnal rack. These get put in the offering plate and shared out loud by the Deacon assisting with the service. We only use first name and last initial for health related prayer requests to guard members’ and friends’ privacy. We also welcome prayers of celebration, thankfulness and joy! Our Pastor will fold these “Prayers of the People” into their Pastoral Prayer.
Each Sunday we pass an offering plate through the congregation to gather our prayer requests and financial offerings. As members and friends, we express our gratitude to God through our giving and we ask God to use our gifts to and through our church to bless the world.
We share the Sacrament of Holy Communion on the first Sunday of each month (also referred to as “Eucharist” or “The Lord’s Supper”). We practice what is called “an open table,” everyone present is invited to take Communion: members, guests, believers, searchers. We believe Christ welcomes all of God’s children (of any age, ability or background) to his table, so, in his name, we do too!
KIDS AND COMMUNION:
On First/Communion Sundays we invite Kindergarten and older children to spend the worship service in the Pray Space and celebrate Communion with the community. The sermon is shorter those days and the service is designed to be inclusive of all ages.
