WORSHIP
Our weekly Sunday worship service is held at 10:30 a.m. Holy Communion is celebrated at every service. Our services are liturgical, following a set pattern, but vary in music and language. Special services are held Christmas Eve, mid-week in Lent and on other occasions.
Members of the congregation take leadership parts in the service by reading from the Bible, assisting with communion, and ushering. Youth and children also participate in processionals and as acolytes.
Our worship is enhanced by the music of our organist, our Bell Choirs, our Children’s Choir, soloists, and instrumentalists.
Children are welcome to worship with us. Even their noise and restlessness are certainly a delight to the Lord. There is a Children’s Sermon early in the service, after which children age 3 – 6th grade depart for Sunday School, returning for communion with their families.
Children who have not yet received instruction for communion (normally in the 3rd grade) may come forward for a blessing. A “crying room” behind the sanctuary permits parents to observe and listen to the service when needed.
Our Worship and Music Committee works to plan meaningful and enriching worship. Our Altar Guild enhances our worship space and attends to weekly worship needs. Minister of Music: Willard Hawley
