Sunday Services
Regular Sunday services, led by our minister Reverend Hope Johnson, are held in the sanctuary at 11:00 a.m. during the congregational year (September thru June). The sermon topic and/or service theme is listed in our Newsletter and on our Calendar.
Children attend the first 15 minutes of Sunday services with their families. Peggy Schlechter, Director of Religious Education, along with lay volunteers conduct a "A Time for All Ages" during this part of the service. At this time, the children are invited to come to the front of the sanctuary to hear Peggy or a member of the congregation tell a story, relate a personal experience, or perhaps sing a song together. This conversation is one way in which we show our children that they are a special and important part of our congregational family. The children then head off to their Sunday School classes.
There's no dress code at our services. You are as likely to find sweaters and blue jeans as you are a shirt and tie or "Sunday Best" attire. We want you to come however you feel most comfortable. The service consists of readings, hymns, announcements, instrumental and choir music, candle lighting for joys and concerns by congregants, and a sermon by our minister or a guest speaker. Following the service, there is a social hour where visitors may join us for coffee and snacks. There is opportunity to talk with the minister and to meet our members during this time. A booklet describing the our Religious Education Program for children is available. Stop by the Visitor's Table to get literature, ask questions, and sign-up for either our e-mail list or to get our newsletter. Come meet us!
