Looking for a few precious moments of peace and perspective in your busy week? We hold worship services each Sunday at 10:30am.
Our worship ministry has many components that are updated each week. We encourage you to "mix and match" the pieces to find out what works best for you.

Minister of Music, Chris Fischer and our Senior Choir will present three carols, Benjamin Britten's "There Is No Rose" from "A Ceremony of Carols" will be sung by the upper voices of the choir, "Who Is He in Yonder Stall?" by Robert H. Young will be sung by the lower voices, and the entire choir will sing Philip Stopford's "Lully, Lulla, Lullay." We are grateful to have our Laudamus Bells, under the direction of Richard Frank perform two additional carols in this service. They will present "Wexford Carol" arranged by Kurt Meyer and Linda Lamb's arrangement of "Pat-a-Pan." Our joy would not be complete without the musical gifts of our Brass Quartet: Ken Baldwin & Marsh Bindseil, trumpet and Denis Jiron & Seth McNall, trombone. The congregational hymns in this service are TLUS #57 "We Wait for God," VU #9 "People Look East," VU #2 "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus," VU #61 "Of God’s Very Heart Begotten" and VU #28 "Herald! Sound the Note of Gladness."
We warmly invite you to join us on Christmas Eve at 6:30 pm for Christmas Music and 7pm for our Inter-generational Worship Service, which includes Candlelight Communion.

Ready for a break from all your screen time? Why not join either the Fall or Winter/Spring session of Bible Study on Thursdays at 11am? It's much more than Bible Study, though. We discuss the message of the Bible through the lens of a book or commentary. Contact the church office for details. We'd love to see you in person!
