When you worship with us on Sunday morning at 9:55 you will be joining a congregation of 100-150 people of all different ages, marital status, interests, abilities, vocations, and spiritual experiences. A large number of the congregation will be folks who have come to be a part of our church family in the last 15 years. Others will be able to trace their family memberships back to the founding of the church in 1794.
The children will come to the front of the church for a few moments for their special time with the pastor during our Time with Younger Christians. After the Time with Younger Christians, the younger members are invited to go to a Children's Church, led by volunteers from our congregation. During the service, a nursery is provided for infants and toddlers in rooms 205-207.
We sing our music from a hymnbook that includes a generous supply of both traditional hymns and modern hymns. The Chancel Choir sings each Sunday and occasionally we have special musical solos, duets or quartets. The hymns and choir music are accompanied by organ or piano, with occasional use of percussion, trumpets, flutes, trombones, etc. The music ranges from the earliest Hebrew songs to hymns and anthems written in the last couple of years. Most of our music is sung to "live" accompaniment.
Morning worship services follow what would be considered a traditional Presbyterian format with praise, prayer, singing, sermon, giving opportunities, and sending into the world. Every month which has 5 Sundays, however, on the 5th Sunday we hold morning worship in our Fellowship Hall, following a more "contemporary" format, using multimedia and having a more informal feel to the service. Our music varies, and we sing hymns from many musical traditions, including early American, international influence, Celtic influence, gospel, traditional historic composers, and straight out of the Presbyterian Hymnal.
