What to Expect
For the first-time Sunday morning visitor, our worship services can be exhilarating … or confusing. Services often involve standing, sitting, kneeling, sung or spoken responses, all of which may provide a challenge for the first-time visitor.
In general, our worship:
-
Centers on an encounter with Jesus, known in Scripture, Sacrament and the Spirit of fellowship we share with one another
-
Follows the order of service in The Book of Common Prayer
-
Involves the whole congregation, not just the worship leaders
-
Employs a variety of music styles, from traditional hymns to contemporary praise songs, from classical pieces to bluegrass
-
Balances “Word” and “Sacrament,” including a sermon and Holy Communion
-
Welcomes all baptized Christians — no matter their age or denomination — to participate in communion.
