Greeters and Ushers
An individual, a couple, or a family will give you a warm welcome as you enter our building. A friendly person will give you today’s bulletin which will have everything you need to participate in worship. The bulletin also contains announcements and a calendar of events for the upcoming week. Greeters and ushers will also point out our worship space, restrooms, and nursery.

Nursery
We have nursery space available. We do not staff the nursery as we welcome and value children in worship with us (even children who make noise 😊). Feel free to use this space as a place to feed your child, a cry-room, or for a break for your child. Come and go as you please at any point during worship. Also, a diaper changing facility is located in the nursery.

Music
You will experience a wide variety of hymns, songs, and worship music played on both the organ and piano. We need your voice to praise God! Also, we have special music offerings from individuals and groups.

Each week someone reads from the Bible. Usually we have one or two readings from the Old Testament, a New Testament Letter, and a New Testament Gospel reading.

Each week the pastor will proclaim “Good News” from the Bible readings. We call this the sermon time and is usually 10 minutes or so.
