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
Worship is an individual experience.  People find different forms of worship meaningful and although each week's service may differ slightly in format, it will always include a children's message, scripture reading, prayer, sermon, communion, and music. 

Our worship service is in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m.  The music is a good blend of older and newer hymns, 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.  The service provides a wonderful blend of worship elements for all people.

 HOLY WEEK
One of the holiest times of the Christian year is the week between Palm Sunday and Easter.  As we follow the journey of Jesus from his entry into Jerusalem through his trial, crucifixion, and resurrection, we have several opportunities to worship and ready ourselves for the joy of Easter morning.

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, our 11:00 a.m. service celebrates of our risen Lord.  We celebrate the joyful news that Jesus the Christ is resurrected and lives in our world!

CHRISTMAS EVE
We offer a special service of worship on Christmas Eve.  The 11:00 p.m. service is held in the sanctuary and is filled with singing of carols, a time of prayer and reflection, a Christmas message, holy communion, the lighting of the candles and the passing of the peace.  Both services provide us with a wonderful opportunity to  welcome the Christ Child into the world.
