Welcome to all of our visitors
What to Expect
Welcome
After a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have resumed our service schedule at the church with in-person worship at 10:00 AM. We are at this time asking those who are not fully vaccinated to wear a mask for the safety of themselves and others. Those who are fully vaccinated should feel free to go without a mask. All should sign in at the front entrance for contact tracing purposes. Thank you!
Welcome
What to Expect
We gather for worship on Sundays at 10 AM. The services are usually about an hour long followed by a time of fellowship, which includes coffee and refreshments. We welcome visitors and encourage them to stay and enjoy the coffee hour with us.
We observe the sacrament of Communion on the first Sunday of each calendar month, as well as on other special occasions, throughout the year. The bread and the wine are usually distributed in serving plates, which are passed in the pews.
All are welcome
What to Wear
You will see a variety of attire at our services, from suits and ties to polo shirts and blue jeans. Anything is acceptable as long as it is respectful of a place of worship.
What about Children
Little ones of all ages are welcome in worship. Sunday School for school age children takes place during the 10 AM worship hour. Children are excused for their activities following the children’s message in the sanctuary.
They may also participate in a children’s choir, which meets on Sunday mornings after the coffee hour and sings during worship from time to time.
What about Accessibility
Our main entrance is at the front of the building through the double glass doors. The sanctuary is handicap accessible by means of an elevator, which you will see to the left of the doors once inside. An usher is available to assist when needed.
What about Vision and Hearing Support
We have available large print bulletins for people who need it. We also provide a T-Loop for those who wear hearing aids.
