Worship

Stained Glass: I am the light of the world

Sunday Morning

Our main worship service is held at 10:00 am every Sunday morning year-round. This is a broadly inclusive style of worship, involving people of all ages. A wide spectrum of music is sung, led with the organ (find out about our organ here), piano, hand drums, acoustic guitar, or voice alone. The choir participates each Sunday.

Communion

The Sacrament of Holy Communion is held monthly, alternating between communion during the service and communion within a brief liturgy following the main service, for those wishing to commune more frequently.

On four communion Sundays during the year, Home Communion Servers take the elements to people who are home-bound.

Baptism

Infants and children are baptized as requested, with the dates negotiable.

The baptism of youth or adults takes place in conjunction with Confirmation following preparation through the annual Confirmation Class.

To request baptism in either form, please contact the church office.

Longest Night Service

This is an annual worship service, held on or about December 21 (the longest night of the year), usually in the evening. It's purpose is to recognize that, in the midst of the joyful Advent and Christmas season, not everyone is able to enter fully into the joyful mood.

Sorrow and tragedy can make Christmas a difficult and painful time. This includes someone who is grieving the death of a loved one or whose life has been shattered by some tragedy; it also includes anyone who is living through a difficult struggle or crisis in their life, or who has experienced any significant loss.

For these people especially, the Longest Night Service is an opportunity to be with the feelings in the presence of a loving and caring God, and others who are compassionately open to this side of life.

The service is presented ecumenically: members of all the churches are invited and welcome to attend; the service is conducted by several pastors and ministers from various churches; and it is held at different churches each year.

Accessibility

Our sanctuary is accessible via elevator (to the sanctuary "balcony") and via a chair lift up the main stairs.

Fragrance Free Area

The south side of our sanctuary is designated a "fragrance-free area" to accomodate those with allergies to strong scents.

Assistive Listening

Assistive listening devices are available for any who have difficulty hearing the service. Please speak to the sound operator before the service; the sound booth is at the back of the church.
