About our worship service

Perhaps you would like to know what to expect if you choose to visit us on Sunday morning. You will be greeted at the door by a Deacon. If you have questions about anything, just ask them. An usher will help you find a seat and give you a bulletin. We stand to sing, but otherwise remain seated. All unison prayers are printed in the bulletin. We sing hymns both traditional and new, from the red Pilgrim Hymnal and the black New Century Hymnal. We do not proclaim any creeds. We will pass an offering plate, but visitors are not expected to make a contribution. After the service you are welcome to join us for coffee and refreshments in Bailey Hall, reached by exiting through the left hand door near the pulpit.

Childcare is provided for children through age 3. Ask a Deacon for directions to the nursery. Children participate in the beginning of the service and are dismissed for church school by the pastor. When church school is over, the children will be brought down to Bailey Hall to meet their parents.

We celebrate communion on the first Sunday of each month. All baptized persons, including children, are invited to participate. Usually plates of bread and small cups of grape juice are passed to the congregation, but occasionally we receive communion by other methods.

While we usually worship together at 10:00, we often schedule services at other times around Christmas and Holy Week and during times of national crisis. Please call the church office (567-6287) for information.
