Services for the Lord’s Day are held at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday in a traditional, Reformed format, which includes congregational participation in singing, prayers of the people, reading of the scriptures from the Old and New Testaments, and a response to the Word in sermon, the sacraments, and an offering of our tithes and offerings. Communion is celebrated several times each year at the beginning of the Church seasons and is open to all Christians and their baptized children.
Additional opportunities for worship are offered during the seasons of Advent and Lent, as are occasional special services of healing and wholeness. Lay persons of all ages assist our pastor in leading worship through prayers, confessions, and other responsive readings.
