Worship Service
Our services usually include instrumental music and singing, a time for meditation or prayer and a sermon or reflection. Each Sunday we share joys and sorrows, and an offering is taken to support the congregation’s social justice council activities. Services run 60-75 minutes in length. As you enter the Sanctuary, an usher will give you an Order of Service; hymnals are provided at the seats. Large print Orders of Service and hymnals are available. Our services are typically led by the Rev. Dr. Jan Carlsson-Bull, but may also be led by a lay leader with a pulpit guest
After the Service
After the service join us for refreshments and conversation.
