Worship with us! We meet for worship in the Sanctuary Sundays at 10:30 am September through May. We meet at 9:30 am June through Labor Day weekend.
Worship is how we give glory to God and offer our lives along with others from our community of faith. In worship we are taught by the Spirit through Scripture and inspired to live in love for God and others.
Our Three Most Recent Worship Services
Worship Style
Our worship service follows a traditional Presbyterian liturgy, with a mix of traditional hymns and contemporary music. We use a printed bulletin as well as project overhead slides for participants to follow along. Worship services last approximately 1 hour.
Kids
We love to have children in worship! Younger children that may need to keep their hands busy during worship can ask for a Children’s Bulletin (coloring sheet) from the ushers, or take one of the activity bags by the entrance of the sanctuary. Every worship service includes at least one activity for younger children, like a presentation from the Children’s Choir, Puppeteer ministry, or Time with the Children.
Chancel Choir
We love to sing! Our Chancel Choir includes voices from tenager to older adults of every gender. Chancel Choir leads Introits, Anthems and/or Benediction hymns two Sundays a month during the school year. Chancel Choir normally practices before worship on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month, as well as on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm from late August to end of May. For more information about the chancel choir, please contact our Choir Director, Sharon Smith.
Children’s Choir
Sacraments
Sunday worship is when we celebrate the Sacraments,
Baptism & the Lord’s Supper.
Children’s Choir is an opportunity for children to lead worship through song and hand motions. This Choir usually presents on the 2nd Sunday of the month in the regular worship service, and practices during the first 15 minutes of the Sunday School hour through the year. For more information about the Children’s Choir, contact Children’s Choir Director, Kasey Smith.
Baptism is the sign and seal of our incorporation into Jesus Christ. As Paul wrote, through the gift of Baptism we are “dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 6:11). We baptize with water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as Jesus commanded us to do (Matthew 28:16-20). We baptize adults who profess their faith in Jesus Christ when they are ready, or the children of believers when presented by their parents with the promise to be raised in Christian community. Please contact Pastor Lisa if you would like to be baptized yourself or present your children for baptism.
The Lord’s Supper (also called Communion or Eucharist) is the sign and seal of our communion with the crucified and risen Lord. We ordinarily celebrate the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month, calling people forth to receive the elements of bread and cup (bread and grape juice) from the serving elders up front. All who trust and love the Lord Jesus Christ are welcome to eat the Communion meal, including children and members of other denominations and Christian congregations. If any present have mobility issues and cannot come forward, elders are ready to serve the bread and cup to them in their seat.
