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.

Although our Minister of Music, Chris Fischer is away this week, we are thrilled to have the first performance of the season from our Treblemakers choir & chimes. Candice Luo will conduct the choir while Eman Eleiwi & Rebecca Neaves will lead the chimes. The young people will sing two pieces for our Musical Reflection, a traditional song from Ghana called "Salaam aleikum” and Chris Fischer's "I Am a Child of God.” Our adult choir will later sing Tim Osiek's arrangement of “Like a River in My Soul” for the Musical Offering. In Chris' absence, the choir will be conducted by Lesley Andrew and accompanied by Lynda Kennedy. Organist Emeritus, Paul Merritt will supply the other music in this service. He will open with our Gathering / Candle Lighting Hymn, VU #382 "Breathe on Me, Breath of God," and close with “Postlude III” by Denis Bédard. Other congregational hymns will be VU #595 We Are Pilgrims," VU #703 "In the Bulb There Is a Flower" and VU #660 "How Firm a Foundation.

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.
