…but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to one another, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.   Ephesians 5:18b-21

Sundays

On Sunday mornings at 10:30, we gather as a community of faith to praise God, read God’s word, hear its truths preached, and be reminded of God’s mercy. Our worship services are traditional but always dynamic.

We welcome children and families in worship — wiggly, giggly children are part of our church family. Each Sunday there is a Sermon on the Steps specifically for them. Children who have entered first grade participate in worship education activities each August so they are prepared to worship with the community for the entire service. 

While we gather in order to be with our church family and rejoice in being together, our main focus in worship is the God who has lifted the heaviness of our guilt, who has walked with us through valleys of deepest darkness, who has brought us peace in the midst of turmoil and hope in the shadows of despair. We gather to worship the God who gives strength in times of weakness and who continues to bring us life.

Our Sunday worship services are live streamed on Facebook.

Worship throughout the Year

Though the calendar year runs from January through December, the church year runs from the first Sunday of Advent through the Reign of Christ Sunday. Observing the liturgical year lets us live in the rhythm of the church rather than in the rhythm of society. Advent (beginning in late November or early December) — when we remember Christ’s coming to earth as a baby and we prepare for his return — gives way to Christmas and Epiphany — when the world came to know Jesus. The solemnity of Lent prepares us for the joy of Easter. Pentecost marks the coming of the Holy Spirit on the church and is followed by Trinity Sunday, celebrating our God who is One-in-Three and Three-in-One. The summer months are known as Ordinary Time — not because they are ordinary but because they are ordered. It is in Ordinary Time that we learn how well we have celebrated the festivals of Christ’s church.

We gather for worship on particular days in the church year. Check the congregational calendar for specific information about worship on
