Our worship service has a basic format shared by many churches. It is about one hour long.

1) We Gather - welcome, call to worship, greeting one another, an opening song, short announcements

2) We Hear the Word - scripture readings, more singing, a message/sermon about 20 minutes long

3) We Respond - people share joys and concerns if they wish, we all pray together, offering, singing. We celebrate Communion/The Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of the month. 

4) We're Sent Out to Love & Serve - closing prayer, song, and a blessing.

Then everyone gathers in the lobby for treats, coffee, and conversation.

WHAT'S THE MUSIC LIKE?

​We're so lucky to have an outstanding Worship Director! Ashley Whetstone leads the congregation in a mix of traditional hymns with updated settings, contemporary worship songs, and original music. She usually plays the piano or guitar and leads the singing. We have a Bell Choir that plays several times a year (it's open to new members!) On some Sundays, we have guest musicians join us on the organ, or with a small band.

CHILDREN 

We'd love to meet your kids! We offer activity bags, and are delighted to have children in worship - with all their wiggles and all their noises. We do not currently have a children's program or child care.

WHAT TO WEAR

Please wear clothes that are comfortable for you. There is no dress code. Most people wear khakis, shorts, or dresses in the summertime. (The sanctuary is not air conditioned.) In winter, sweaters and jeans are great. Few people wear ties and jackets, but you're welcome to if that's what you like.

NAME TAGS

We try to remember to wear name tags, so we can greet one another. We'd be glad to make one for you! Just ask a greeter near the main door, and someone will set you up.
