For Our Guests

Wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing is fine.  Some of us dress up and other dress down. You can wear pearls and heels or casual slacks and a sport shirt, jeans or even shorts on a hot summer day.  Children may have art projects or outdoor activities, so they should dress casually for active play.

Worship services are held from 8:30 - 9:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to approximately 11:45 a.m.
Children over the age of eight remain in the worship service, while younger children stay for the first 15-20 minutes for a gathering song and the Children’s Story at the front of the sanctuary.  After that they go to Children’s Church for the remainder of worship.

Sunday School classes are held from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m.

Childcare for infants and toddlers is always available on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. When there is a meeting or church gathering, child care is often available with several days' advance notice.

YES!  If you find that you need to step out with your child, you can go to the rear of the sanctuary and into the Fellowship Hall.  Or, you may choose to attend Children’s Church with your child if that works best in the beginning.  Children of any age may take part in worship with the grown-ups.

We have two worship services:  8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

The 8:30 service last 45 minutes and is contemplative in nature.  There is singing, meditation, reading, and a short sermon by our pastor.  Communion is served every Sunday.

Our 10:30 Sunday service involves congregational singing, choral music, meditations, readings and a sermon by our pastor.  Every Sunday communion is served.  The service lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes.  After the 10:30 Sunday Service we have “Coffee and Conversation” in the Fellowship Hall.

No, you won't be pressured to be saved or join.  When you are a guest at our church we will welcome you at the door.  If you give us your email address, we'll send you our newsletter for a while.  We'd be happy to have you join us, but we won't push ourselves onto you.  We will never ask you to join on a first visit; we recommend you visit several times before you consider joining.  Your faith is important; we’d love to talk to you about it, but we know that it a personal matter.
