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 March 22nd we will mark the Fifth Sunday in Lent and we invite you to join with Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, as we continue to journey in the wilderness. His sermon is entitled “Where’s My Accompanist?!" and it is based on this week's reading of Psalm 68: 4-11, read by David Wake. Today's Gospel reading is Matthew 26: 6-13.

We are blessed this Sunday to have our Laudamus Bells, under the direction of Richard Frank, open our service with Hal Hopson's arrangement "Fantasy on ‘Hyfrydol’ (‘Love Divine, All Loves Excelling’)." Minister of Music, Chris Fischer will lead the choir in our Musical Offering, "The Deer's Cry" by Arvo Pärt. This anthem features the famous text of 'Saint Patrick's Breastplate' attributed to St. Patrick in the 4th century. In place of a Musical Reflection, the choir will lead the congregation in a Sung Response from TLUS #91 "In Life, in Death" which will be sung as a 4-part round. Our Sending Music is "Postlude in D Minor" by Charles V. Stanford, played by Chris Fischer on organ. Congregational hymns this week are MV #161 "I Have Called You by Your Name," VU #288 "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," VU #641 "Lord Jesus, You Shall Be My Song" and VU #647 "Travel On, Travel On."

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!
