Worship

September – May 11:00 a.m. on Sunday
June – August 9:30 a.m. on Sunday

Worship is a time for the community to gather together to offer thanks to God, support to one another, and inspiration and challenge as we prepare for the week ahead. Below are thoughts about some of the things that you might experience as part of worship here:

Sharing of Joys and Concerns – As we gather in worship we take time to hear from one another about the places where we are experiencing joy or concern in our lives.
Persons are encouraged to remember these things in prayer in the week ahead. We light a candle with the sharing of each joy or concern which burns throughout worship as a reminder of the points of prayer in our midst.

Offering – This is a time for regular participants in the church to share from their
resources to support the ministries that we offer. As a guest, you may feel free to share a financial gift, but it is not expected.

Time with the Children – A special time of about 5 minutes when the focus is on applying the story in a way that reaches our youngest members. Generally for 2 year olds up to about 6th graders, you may feel free to come and sit on the first pew if that will make your child more comfortable in participating.

Nursery Care – Care is provided for infants through kindergarten during worship and under two during Christian Ed. Children are welcome to stay in worship. There are worship activity bags that children under grade 4 may use. An usher can show you where to find them.

Coffee & Fellowship Time – We host a coffee time between Sunday School and Worship in the months from September-May and a coffee time (“Meet and Greet”) after worship as well all year.  Enjoy a cup of coffee, conversation and a snack!
