Worship Services
Regular services are held in the church sanctuary at 10:30 on Sunday mornings from mid-September through mid-June. Regular services last about one hour. We also live stream the services and record them for later viewing. Following the service, coffee hour is held downstairs in Unity Hall. Please join us for refreshment and fellowship.
During the summer months we have more informal, lay-led services. Attending summer services is an ideal way to connect with the church community in a small group setting. We offer childcare to facilitate your attendance and enjoyment of these special services. Please see summer services for more information.
When you walk in the front doors on Sundays, you will be greeted by our minister, and members of our Welcome Team. At your first visit, please stop by the Welcome Table (which is located just inside the front sanctuary doors) for a name tag and to fill out a Welcome Card. Church members and friends wear nametags during the Sunday services and at coffee hour, which help us all to get to know each other better.
Attire
Please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Looking around at the Sunday service you will see attire from casual to dressy and everything in between.
Childcare and Classes
During our service, families are encouraged to sit together. We love having children in the sanctuary during the service, but we know that they sometimes get fussy. We encourage you to try our Family Area at the back of the sanctuary. We have seating and a rocking chair, along with books and a few quiet activities to keep your children busy. If you would prefer to take your child out of the sanctuary, we have a listening room available. Simply exit the sanctuary through the side door to the right; the library library is across the parlor and is outfitted with a speaker to allow you to listen to the service until you and your child are ready to return to the sanctuary.
While children are welcome to remain with you during the entire service, they can also visit the church school if they like.
To learn more about our faith formation classes, click here. Most Sundays, children pre-school and older start in the service and depart for faith formation classes just after the “Message For All Ages.” We offer free cooperative childcare or religious education for infants, toddlers on Sundays from 10:20 to 11:45 a.m. Rev. Heather Concannon, the Minister of Faith Formation, or other friendly people will be able to direct you to the appropriate classroom for your child(ren). During the summer months we do not have faith formation classes, but childcare is available
