Welcome! First thing you should probably know we’re pretty relaxed – we welcome all visitors of varying faiths, heritages, creeds, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, nationality, ethnicity, abilities, marital status, political affiliation, age, and economic status. We want you to know that we are here to offer a community where you can belong, be valued and loved, deepen your spirituality, and discover a purpose that can change lives and your community. All are welcome!
As you enter the church, you enter into a small forum area with a beautiful wall with a mural. Behind that wall there is a place to hang jackets or coats and the restrooms are on the opposite side.
Come on past there,(and hopefully we’ve greeted you by then, but if not – don’t be shy) and past the next set of glass doors and into the sanctuary.
Opposite of where you are standing, there is a place for coffee and morning fellowship (often supplied with donuts, fruit, juice, etc.).
There is also a place for young children to play during the service (the room has a speaker so the message can still be heard).
Fellowship begins 9:40 – 10:00ish and we often have coffee, fruit, and donuts available. So come 10 – 20 minutes early to join in fellowship. These refreshments are left out through out the service as well so if you’re running close to time, or need a little something during service, you can feel free to step back to our kitchen and fill up your coffee cup.
We’ve found that morning fellowship is a great way to get to know each other – and a good way to share in community. We enjoy our time to take and chat.
We’re pretty informal, so around 10:00 we begin our opening song and gathering music. Our worship services are semi-contemporary with a nod to our more traditional past. You can expect some singing, a morning message or scripture exploration, an offering, and some more singing. Often times we’ll dedicate our offering for an upcoming event such as Outreach International, SPEC, or Camps or to support a nonprofit organization in our local community.
The morning Message varies based on the theme and may or may not follow the Community of Christ’s provided worship resources that follows the liturgical calendar. Often times, a member of the congregation may be the one delivering the message. Our Worship planning committee is comprised of many individuals in our congregation and is always seeking new opportunities to share. If you have ideas – please don’t hesitate to reach out!
We mentioned earlier, but it may be worth mentioning again; we’re fairly relaxed. Odds are, if you come dressed in a suit and tie, you’ll probably be the only one. If you’re ok with that, then so are we. Don’t be surprised if someone is wearing jeans or shorts (perhaps the speaker, even!)
