Service Times: Saturday, 4:00pm; Sunday, 10:30am
Join us for in-person worship on Saturday evenings at 4:00pm and Sunday mornings at 10:30 am. Also, we live stream our Sunday, 10:30 am service on our YouTube channel and our Facebook page.
Holy Communion is offered at both services.
Overview of the Worship Services
Each service contains four elements:
- Gathering
- Word
- Meal
- Sending
Gathering: The Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God.
We confess that we are sinners and hear again the Good News that we are forgiven and saved by the grace of God.
Word: God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching and song.
We listen to scripture readings from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Gospels. Children are invited forward after the readings for a youth message. The pastor’s message follows, elaborating and reflecting on the scripture readings. This segment of the service concludes with stating our beliefs and praying for the church, the world, and all those in need.
Meal: God feeds us with the presence of Jesus Christ.
We remember that we are saved by grace through the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Holy Communion includes serving a wafer or bread (the Body of Christ) and a small cup of wine or juice (the Blood of Christ). All who believe that Jesus is their Redeemer and Savior are invited to partake in Holy Communion. If you would like to come forward and receive a blessing, then you may do that also.
Note: Gluten-free wafers are available upon request and juice is available as an alternative to wine. The Communion elements are also available to those who choose to remain in the pews during Communion.
Sending: God blesses us and sends us in mission to the world.
The service concludes with music and a blessing.
Music
Worship is enhanced with a wide variety of music styles ranging from traditional hymns to songs that you might hear on Christian radio today. The Saturday service is a relaxed, meditative service with music led primarily by our music director. The music on Sunday morning is led by a gifted team of musicians: singers and soloists of all voice parts, percussion, guitar, flute, oboe, trombone and piano (and always looking for more!). For those interested in serving as a musician, please see our Music page for more information.
