Morning Worship Service
Through the ancient pattern for worship described in the Didache, the earliest known book of church organization written around 100AD, our morning service is structured to give you confidence to know what is coming next, and follows a regular rhythm of hymns, scripture readings, sermon, prayers, and communion. Services last a little over an hour and include hymns, and global music featuring contemporary instruments, organ, piano, choir, and handbells depending on the season. Communion is offered weekly to everyone at the same time, and if you'd like a blessing but aren't comfortable taking communion, you can fold your arms over your chest and receive a verbal blessing instead, or stay seated. Children are encouraged to join their families at the start of worship, but before the scripture and sermon, they receive their own children’s message before their invitation to join Sunday School, where they have their own age-engaging lessons, music, and activities. Children reconvene with their parents in the sanctuary when it is time for communion.
