The Lord’s Supper: We observe the Lord’s Supper every Sunday. We welcome everyone to celebrate communion with us. Our communion is shared by our deacons. They will pass you both the cup and the bread. We partake of the bread when you wish and hold the cup and take it together. We use grape juice to symbolize our wine.

Children’s Blessing: Each Sunday our children will be invited to come forward for our children’s Blessing. They will gather in front of the congregation and will be given blessing before being dismissed to Children’s Worship & Wonder.


Children’s Worship & Wonder: is an experiential worship experience designed especially for our children ages 3- 4th grade. It is located directly to the right of our sanctuary in our library. Here the children hear and see and experience the sacred stories and parables of God. This worship time is lead by trained storytellers and greeters. The children not only learn the stories of God but they also have an opportunity to Wonder about them in their wondering time as they create art work, revisit stories of the past or read the Bible passages about the stories. Parents or grandparents may pick up their child immediately after the adult worship service.
