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, August 30th, you are invited to join Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, for worship. This week, he will preach a sermon entitled “On the Impossible” based on Exodus 3: 1-15 from the Old Testament. David Beach will read this passage for us. Our Gospel reading is Matthew 16: 21-28.

Minister of Music, Chris Fischer will be joined by David Kai on piano. David is a retired diaconal minister who has written and arranged many hymns in Voices United, More Voices and our new Then Let Us Sing hymnal. Through his music, David seeks to promote faith, justice, and the inclusion of all God's people. Together, David & Chris will open the service with TLUS #142 "With Compassion." This hymn will serve as both Gathering and Candle Lighting Music. Chris will sing the first two verses and invite the congregation to join on the third verse of this hymn. Both our Musical Reflection, "Fear Not, for I Am with You," and our Musical Offering "Hope Is an Anchor" are written by David Kai and will be sung by Chris with David accompanying on piano. Sunday's congregational hymns will be VU #642, "Be Thou My Vision," MV #176, "Three Things I Promise" and VU, #575 "I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me." Chris will close the service from the organ with Mark Himmelman's "Prelude on Kelvingrove" ("Will You Come and Follow Me").

"Deep Dive" provides an audio commentary on the most recent Sunday message. Listen to a thoughtful discussion by using this link and once there, go to the STUDIO section and open the commentary link there. (Hint: If you're using a handheld device, be patient. After you hit the "play" icon it takes a couple of minutes for the audio to load before it starts playing.)
"PostScript," is "taking a sabbatical" for a few weeks. Watch for its return following the Sept. 13 Homecoming Service.
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!
