I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul
makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. 0 magnify the LORD with
me, and let us exalt his name together (Psalm 34:1-3).
Worship is the practice of "stepping away" from the pattern and press of daily life to
intentionally love God. In doing so, we gain a deeper understanding and experience of the
majesty, mercy and mystery of God. In worship we praise God for being God, for being
our God! We can "step away" from the routine of the moment to honor God in numerous
ways: through participation in the public event of a worship service; through the creative
act of art, drama, dance, craft, music and song; through listening to a sermon or receiving
the sacrament; through an encounter of God in the beauty of creation, and more. As we
grow in our spiritual life we acknowledge that the act of corporate worship within the
context of a celebrating congregation is key and necessary to our faith journey and life of
devotion.
Times and schedules can vary during Advent, Christmas, Holy Week, and Easter

All are welcome to join us. Holy Communion is open to all those who are baptized and
receive communion in their home congregations. Those not receiving communion are
invited to the communion table to receive a prayer of blessing.
