Worship
Our choir
The choir, currently led by Steve Bayless, sings in order to direct our attention to the Lord, prepare our hearts for worship, and help us focus on the theme for the day. If you would like to “make a joyful noise” with the choir, stop in for rehearsal in the sanctuary on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 PM.
Songs and hymns
Our worship service combines contemporary Christian songs and hymns of the faith. Occasionally we dedicate the entire time of worship to praising God through music. What songs stir your spirit so that you can rejoice or meditate on the majesty and wonder of Jesus Christ? Let us know!
Prayer
Prayer is, quite simply, dialogue with God. In worship, we pray together to reflect our unity in Christ. In prayer, we confess our sins, express our love and thanks to God, and ask Him to be the provider of all that we need in life. Talk to Him! He’s listening.
Scripture readings
The Bible is the written record of God’s self-revelation, His relationship with humanity, and the fulfillment of His promise to rescue us from sin and punishment. In addition, the Bible speaks to everyday life. God has something to say to you! If you’re not reading God’s Word on a regular basis, you can sign up through the PC(USA) web site to receive the lectionary by e-mail. As you read these passages each day, they will guide you into a deeper knowledge of the Bible.
The Daily Lectionary is a free service. To learn more, visit

The message
You can find sermon previews on the Friday before each Sunday to help you prepare for the message. After the service, the text itself is posted so that you can download it. It’s just that easy, especially if you register and subscribe to email updates.
Communion
On the first Sunday of every month our congregation shares Communion. When we participate in this simple act of eating bread and drinking grape juice together, we experience the very presence of our Lord through the Holy Spirit. Remembering the commitment and sacrifice of Jesus Christ strengthens and nurtures our faith. Communion is also a reminder of His promise that one day we will sit down with Him and eat together in the Kingdom of God.
