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.
WORSHIP UPDATE
-
On Sunday, October 4th we will celebrate World Communion Sunday. Please join Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, for worship. His sermon this week is entitled “A Table for Everyone,” and is based on Sunday's Scripture readings, Exodus 20: 1-4, 7-9, 12-20 and Philippians 3: 4b-14. We express our gratitude to Cynthia Simpson for reading our first scripture, to Barb Dalrymple for our Outreach Moment, and to members of the Faith Formation Committee for assisting with Communion.

Minister of Music, Chris Fischer and a small ensemble will open our service with our Gathering / Candle Lighting Hymn, "Way Maker" (TLUS # 8) by South African composer Osinachi Kalu Okoro Egbu. Later, they will lead the choir in the Musical Reflection "Love Has Broken Down the Wall" by Mark Miller. This anthem features mezzo-soprano soloist Lesley Andrew. The Prayer of Jesus this week will be sung from TLUS #70, "Our Creator in heaven." Other congregational hymns in this service will be VU #460 "All Who Hunger," VU #477 "I Come with Joy," TLUS #28 "I’m Gonna Eat at the Welcome Table" and VU #468 "Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ." We will also be singing the English, Arabic and Hebrew words of the Prayer Response hymn we have been learning over the last several weeks, TLUS #135 "Send Your Peace." Chris will close the service from the piano with "Sent Forth by God’s Blessing" by Joseph Martin.

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!
From September through to December, 2026 our theme will be "Technology and the Spirit." Our first session is Thursday, September 24. Get a listing of the texts and themes for the fall here.
