Our times of worship are a way to express our faith through the silence of prayer, the spoken word, and music. Throughout the year, there are many opportunities to gather as the church family to worship our God, the Creator of all, to give thanks for the gift of his Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, and to feel the power of the Holy Spirit moving through and in us. SUNDAY WORSHIP We have a traditional worship service in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. The music is a good blend of older and newer hymns, accompanied by a pipe organ, with additional music provided by our Chancel Choir. Communion is led by the Pastor and Elders and is served to the congregation by members of the Diaconate. Our 6:00 p.m. Sunday evening service is a more informal service and is held in the chapel. The music is primarily praise music, accompanied by a piano, and is led by a small group of singers in the Praise Team. Communion is led by members of the laity; people go forward to break off a piece of bread and dip it in the cup to share in the Lord's Supper. HOLY WEEK Palm Sunday, during our Sunday services, there is a focus on the triumphant entry into Jerusalem of Jesus and the sharing of the Passion Story. Our Maundy Thursday service emphasizes the Lord's Supper and Jesus' last night with his disciples before his arrest. The service is always centered around a special time of communion. On Good Friday, there is a service of darkening and prayers as we remember our Savior's death on the cross. Easter Sunday, we have three services, an early service at 8:00 a.m., our 11:00 a.m. service, and the 6:00 p.m. service. We celebrate the joyful news that Jesus the Christ is resurrected and lives in our world! CHRISTMAS EVE
