Sunday Morning Worship – 10:30am
Our Sunday Morning service follows the liturgical tradition, blending ancient practices with modern worship elements.
All ages are free to worship together, and everyone is invited to participate and help lead the service. The word “liturgy” means “work of the people.” We believe worship is participatory!
- The music (instrumental and sung) represents a variety of musical styles including hymns and choruses, Southern Gospel, classical and original works.
- Adults and youth lead the congregation in prayer and scripture reading.
- Children, youth and adults serve as trained acolytes.
- The service includes a time for the public sharing of joys and concerns followed by prayer.
- Prayer candles in the sanctuary are available for lighting by anyone before and during the service.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month. Everyone is welcome to partake! People of all ages and traditions who are seeking the love of God through Jesus Christ are invited to partake of the sacrament.
We observe the liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Eastertide, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time.
Children and Worship:
Children learn to worship by worshipping. We are glad they are in our midst!
We encourage children to be present with their families throughout the worship service. After the children’s message, children ages 0-2nd grade are welcome to exit the sanctuary with supervising adults to the nursery for children’s church (if they so wish!).
Worship bags for the children can be found in the entrance area to the sanctuary. These include quiet play items to keep little hands busy and little ears open!
There is also a Prayground play area for children at the back of the sanctuary with books and quiet activities if kids need to get up and wiggle.
Children are always invited to partake in the sacrament of Holy Communion
We encourage children beginning at the age of 3 years to be involved in the Sunday School hour, beginning at 9:15 am.
