Worship
Sabbath
is a time to rest and revive, to put aside the week's cares and rediscover our
connections to God and to each other. Worship together is central to our life
as a congregation. It helps us to understand God's Word and to relate what we
believe, with how we live.
Worship
engages a person's mind, heart, eyes and ears. We use music, drama, dance, and
the visual arts to enhance worship, explore spirituality, express faith, and
interpret God's Word year round, and especially during the festivals of the
church year -- Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.
From
September through May, we worship at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. From June through August, the congregation
worships together at 10:00 a.m. each Sunday.
Morning Worship at 11:00 a.m. features a traditional order of service. Music is
led by the Chancel Choir and accompanied by our Mollar organ -- often
with oboe, flute, string, brass
or percussion instruments. We sing hymns that are both traditional
and new, American and from all parts of the world.
Morning
Worship also includes "Time for Young Disciples," a special message
for children. For infants and children under four years of age, nursery care is
available during the worship hour. In the two entry hallways outside the
sanctuary, children who attend the service will find activity packets to help
them pass the time during quiet parts of worship.
After
this service, everyone is invited to Coffee Hour in the Chalice Room next to
the sanctuary, for light refreshments and friendly conversation.
Communion
is celebrated about once a month. Check this site's
Communion Schedule
for the days on which communion is served.
In
addition to special services celebrating the church festivals, in
November
we celebrate
the Feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle, symbolizing our Presbyterian
origins in the Kirk of Scotland and the Scottish Reformation. The Saint Andrew's
Day celebration features a splendid processional of clan representatives in
tartans,
the music of the bagpipe and organ, historic Kirk of Scotland liturgy, and a
high tea after the service.
We
invite you to find the joy of worship and the healing of sabbath with us.
