Communion is normally served the first Sunday of each month. The Sacrament of Baptism, for children and adults, is celebrated upon request.
8:30an - 9:15am WORSHIP CELEBRATION (Child care is available for ages birth to age 3)
The 8:30 AM worship service is designed for all ages to worship together.

(45 minutes)

10:30am - 11:30am SERVICE FOR THE LORDS DAY (Child care for birth through two)
The liturgical format, styles of music, word with children, prayers, and sermons are more formal and traditional than the 8:30am service, but continue to be warm and inviting.

Centering Prayer
For many of us, a disciplined prayer life is not easy. Finding the time and motivation can be challenging. So, beginning September 19, every Wednesday morning from 8-8:30, in the Sanctuary, Gail Brown, Coordinator for Spiritual Life, will offer a weekly time for centering prayer. Centering prayer is an ancient form of Christian prayer that has been made available to contemporary Christians by the work of Father Thomas Keating. This method of prayer helps us to simply rest in the presence of God. Come join us in the silence.
Daybreak Devotions
Join us for an hour of music, silent meditation, simple communion and a brief message on the second Wednesday of each month from 7:00 - 8:00 AM during the months of September through June and weekly during the Lenten season. Coffee follows for those who are able to stay.
Special Seasonal Services
During Advent, Christmas, Lent and Holy Week special services are offered to celebrate the central stories of our Christian faith.
