Worship
Worship is the center of our life together. For in worship we are called out of ourselves and into participation in the life of God the Holy Spirit for allegiance to our Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. We welcome everyone to all of our services. All are welcome guests at our Lord’s table.
When you arrive for worship, you will receive a bulletin to guide you through the service. hymn and prayer books are available at the back of the church. We generally dress casually for services. You are invited after services for fellowship and coffee in Thompson Hall in the basement of the church. See the worship link for details about our various services.

All are welcome to all studies. Details of particular studies are available elsewhere on our web page and in our bulletins and newsletters.
