What to Expect in Worship

We value a creative and engaging traditional service that highlights our intergenerational commitments. ​

We glorify God in our worship utilizing a blend of traditional and modern hymns,  reflective praise songs, choral anthems, lively special music, children's bell choir, and liturgical dance. We welcome the inclusion of all musical gifts, and we'd love to add your voice in worship!

Covid-19 Risk Mitigation Plan
Each Sunday we incorporate every age and ability into various components of our worship:
  • A lay liturgist assists Pastor Emily in leading the service
  • Our children enjoy lighting the candles, participating in Faith Lab with Pastor Emily, and learning together in Sacred Circle Sunday School (mid-way through the service).
  • We all gather around after passing the peace of Christ to share in the Lord’s Prayer.
  • Pastor Emily preaches a scripturally-based sermon that relates to daily-life transformation in our faith.
  • Our choir (all are welcome!) sings an anthem each Sunday from Sept. through May.
  • Our musically-inclined of all ages offer Special Music during the summer & special occasions.
  • The 1st Sunday each month we gather around an open communion table (all are welcome!)
  • The 1st Sunday each month we invite all children and youth to take part in our simple and spirited bell choir.
  • The 5th Sunday of each month we offer a service of healing & anointing.
You are welcome to come to worship AS YOU ARE. The dress is casual.
