Worship

Please contact us for more information about our programs, activities or services.

Sunday Morning

Our main worship service is held at 10:00 am every Sunday morning year-round. This is a broadly inclusive style of worship, embracing worship practices from the traditional to the contemporary and in between.

Communion

The Sacrament of Holy Communion is held within the main worship service four times a year. We alternate between two styles: (1) serving the elements in the pews with individual glasses for the grape juice; and (2) people moving to the stations and partaking from a common cup by intinction.

Also, later in the day, on each of these four communion Sundays, Home Communion Servers take the elements to people who are home-bound.

In addition to our four main communion occasions, a brief communion is held after the worship service on the first Sunday of each month, except when a main communion is held on or near that Sunday. See the Pastoral Care page for details.

Baptism

Infants and children are baptized as requested, with the dates negotiable.

The baptism of youth or adults takes place in conjunction with Confirmation following preparation through the annual Confirmation Class.

To request baptism in either form, please contact the church office.

Schedule of Services

Longest Night Service

This is an annual worship service, held on or about December 21 (the longest night of the year), usually in the evening. It's purpose is to recognize that, in the midst of the joyful Advent and Christmas season, not everyone is able to enter fully into the joyful mood.

Sorrow and tragedy can make Christmas a difficult and painful time. This includes someone who is grieving the death of a loved one or whose life has been shattered by some tragedy; it also includes anyone who is living through a difficult struggle or crisis in their life, or who has experienced any significant loss.

For these people especially, the Longest Night Service is an opportunity to be with the feelings in the presence of a loving and caring God, and others who are compassionately open to this side of life.

The service is presented ecumenically: members of all the churches are invited and welcome to attend; the service is conducted by several pastors and ministers from various churches; and it is held at different churches each year.
