Sunday Worship
Our worship service is at 11 a.m. September through May  And, at 10:00 a.m. June through August. Our sanctuary is handicappedr accessible and an accessible restroom is nearby in the Garden Room.  Visitors are treated as guests and are always welcome.  Going to a church can oftentimes be scary, so we invite visitors to ask questions of the ushers.

We are a liturgical church which means that our worship service follows the same order each week.  But, the individual parts are not the different week to week.  The order of the worship is printed in the Sunday bulletin which every person will get upon entry to the sanctuary.  Responsive readings, hymns and prayers will also appear on our large projection screen for easy reading. Our worship service includes singing, responsive readings,  reading scripture, a sermon and prayer. During the prayers of the people, our church members and vistors  speak their concerns and their joys. We pray often for the needs of our city, our country, and our world and each other. Our songs, hymns and, on special days, choir anthems are part of the interpretation of scripture.

We celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of each month. All who profess Christ are welcome to partake of Communion. We serve grape juice and bread, as well as gluten-free crackers, so that everyone can be included.

Following worship, we serve coffee and treats and gather around tables and plants in the Garden Room to talk with each other and get to know our visitors.

Music
Music is integral to our worship services. Our congregation sings old and new hymns from the  Presbyterian hymnal Glory to God as well as camp songs and Taizé songs. The choir sings on special Sundays.  Often on we have muscians from the community perform during Sunday worship.

Communion
Communion is the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. When we celebrate communion together, we thank God for the blessings of God and are made one with Christ and with each other through the work of the Spirit. At this table we remember the unity with the larger church and are renewed to commit ourselves afresh to love and serve God, one another, and Christ in all persons.

Communion is served the first Sunday of every month. We serve grape juice, bread, and gluten-free crackers. Presbyterians believe in an open table, where all people who profess Christ are welcome. Children who have permission of parents may participate in the sacrament.

Labyrinth
Ours is a classical, or seven circuit labyrinth, which means it has seven circles which connected together create one path. A labyrinth is designed to allow walkers to meditate as they move along the path in a relaxed way, mindful of their steps. However, some people need to dance or run part of the way before they are prepared to be soothed by the labyrinth. Please be considerate of others who are also walking the labyrinth and let them walk in silence. Once you arrive in the center feel free to sit on the benches and continue your meditation and prayers. You may want to let the sounds from the neighborhood and streets guide your prayers and pray for the well-being of the city. The return trip out is just as important as the entrance. Let the journey prepare you for the rest of your day or the week ahead.
