Worship Services

Saturdays at 6:00 pm

Our Saturday night service is casual - people come in shorts as well as slacks or casual dresses. The music is led by a band and the songs are those you hear on Z88, plus some older contemporary songs. Occasionally a classic hymn is thrown in the mix. The service is Holy Communion and tailored each week to reflect the readings instead of being straight out of The Book of Common Prayer. There are anywhere from 15 to 45 people in attendance - no rhyme or reason. It lasts an hour or so.  On the 4th Saturday, there is a covered dish supper afterwards and sometimes 6 people stay and sometimes 20 people stay. Again, no rhyme or reason.

Sundays at 8:00 am

Our Sunday morning at 8:00 service is a bit more formal than Saturday night and there is no music. It uses a form of older language (Thee, Thou, wast, hast...instead of You, was, has, etc). The dress is casual business attire. Some women wear pants and some dresses. Men typically have on khakis and some wear nice jeans. The combination of scripture, prayers, preaching, and quiet invites one into a worship experience that strengthens and renews. ​

​Sundays at 10:15 am

​The Sunday service at 10:15 am is the traditional service with a choir and piano/organ. Dress is all over the place, but typically like 8:00. During the school year there is Sunday School that starts at 10:15 am and finishes about 10:45 or a bit later...in time for the kids to all come in at the Peace or after the Choir Anthem at the Offertory so they can have communion with their families. On the last Sunday of the month, the children and youth take the lead. They fill all the roles in the service (read, usher, greet, etc) and the sermon is totally directed to them.
Sunday Breakfast at 9:00 a.m.
We serve a full breakfast every Sunday morning. We ask for a donation, but it is not necessary. 
This is a great way to fill your tummy with a home cooked meal and to meet some awesome folks who will become your friends!
