Weekly ServicesSunday Worship: 9:30AMSunday School: 9:30 AM Professional Nursery Care What to expectPlease come with your questions and your doubts, justcome as you are! Most weeks our worship service is traditional in style, but once a month we hold a "blended" service. Either way, you will be given a bulletin to guide you through it, and the worship leader will help cue you when to sing, pray, listen, and join in. Our service lasts about one hour and includes music, a message, prayers, and early in the service a special time of prayer and worship for the children. CommunionCommunion, or eucharist as some of you may know it,is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. Participation is entirely optional and there is no pressure to take part if you feel you are not ready. Sunday SchoolEducational classes are provided for pre-school (age 4)through grade 8 during the Sunday worship service. All children begin Sunday worship upstairs with their parents and are dismissed early in the service to attend their own gathering and then classes. NurseryWe offer a warm and caring nursery area to care forour littlest folks during the service. The nursery is staffed by a professional, first aid certified, CORI checked individual. BaptismAre you looking to have your child baptized? The firststep is to find a church which is a good fit for your family, begin attending that church regularly, and then speak to the pastor about baptism. Baptism is the formal start of a faith journey, a journey best enjoyed in the company of others. Some of our families choose to postpone baptism until their child is old enough to take the vows for him or herself. In those cases, we offer to dedicate their children. In either case, the intent is that the youth of the church will take confirmation class when they are in either the ninth or tenth grade; at the conclusion of that, they will decide whether or not to “confirm” their baptismal vows for themselves, or in the case of an individual who has never been baptized, be baptized. When adults who have never been baptized choose to join the church, we baptize them at that time. |
