We gather around God’s word and sacraments, offering our thanks and praise.

• A rotation of our pastors preaching and leading worship
• Fellowship (donuts and coffee) is located in the Great Hall on Sundays. Join others to mingle and enjoy a treat!
• Live music provided by handbells, choirs, and ensembles (organ/piano) and by our worship band (band-led)
• Printed bulletins are available, but all services have instructions available on the screens in the sanctuary
• Holy Communion is celebrated on the first and third weekends during organ/piano-led worship and weekly during band-led worship. Communion is at the front of the sanctuary and served as individual wafers with a glass of wine or grape juice.
• Hymnals and Bibles are located in the pew racks
• Children’s worship activity bags are available as you walk into worship
• Read our tips for worshiping with children
• A small church feel in a large church setting

FAMILIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO WORSHIP TOGETHER
“Let the little children come to me” (Matthew 19:14) Families are welcome in all worship spaces and are invited to come and go from the Sanctuary as needed for care and service participation. A Supported Family Worship Space will be opening October 6.
