Worship Leadership

 

Sunday Worship The most basic unit of participation is coming to church!  Services are offered at 8:30 and 11:00a.m. every Sunday.

Morning Prayers A 30 minute service of silence, Scripture and song  is held Wednesdays at 7:00a.m.  We also have a variety of special services on special days of the Christian year.

Music Ministry The Chancel Choir is an all-volunteer group of adults and youth that sings each Sunday in the 11:00 service.  No experience needed!  They rehearse Wednesday nights at 7:30p.m. for one hour. Contact: Ed Lippincott, Chancel Choir Director, 741-1470 Special Music, including instrumental and vocal soloist and groups,  is always a wonderful part of the 8:30 and 11:00 services.  If you have talents you wish to share, please contact us! Contact: Pastor Brian Ellison, 741-1641 or Joyce Berg, Church Musician, 741-7388

Other Worship Leadership Opportunities Adults and older youth serve weekly as worship assistants, leading prayers and reading scripture. Children grades 3 through 8 serve as acolyte, leading the procession and recession with the light of Christ. All members and visitors are invited to sponsor sanctuary flowers in honor or memory of a special person or event. Greeters are needed to welcome people to worship at the front door each week. And special opportunities abound for creative participation, including the making of banners, the performance of drama, and other opportunities we haven’t thought of yet! Contact: Pastor Ellison, 741-1641, or Joyce Allen, Worship moderator

Individual Worship While coming together for worship is a crucial part of our church life, it is just as important to create space and time for God in our own lives between Sundays. The church can help in several ways: Devotional guides: Copies of two devotional guides, These Days and The Upper Room are available in the narthex. Additionally, the church publishes its own devotional written by members each Advent season. Prayer concerns: A group lifts up the joys and needs of the congregation through a telephone "prayer chain" and an e-mail list for prayer concerns. A list of prayer concerns is also updated weekly and available in the narthex. If you have a concern for which you would like prayer, call the church office. To join the phone or email list, contact Joyce Berg, 741-7388. Groups for prayer and study: Small groups meet in individual homes each week. See their description under "Spiritual Growth Opportunities" Space to pray: The Sanctuary is open throughout the work week and most evenings. Feel free to check with the church office to be certain the church is unlocked. The Pastor is also glad to pray with individuals; call any time.
