| Notes About Worship
|
Holy Communion:
We celebrate Holy Communion each Sunday and practice "Open
Communion." That is, believing Jesus Christ to be truly present in
the bread and wine, we regard Him as the host of the meal and, in his name,
we welcome all baptized Christians to the Lord's table.
Children who have not yet received instruction, may come to the altar for a
blessing.
|
Children in Worship:
We do have an adult staffed nursery for children ages five and under;
however, we welcome and encourage children of all ages to attend our
worship services. Each Sunday, we invite the children forward for a
children's sermon which is centered on the Gospel reading appointed
for the day and is also tied to the Sunday school lesson of the day.
|
Our Music:
We are a liturgical Church, which means that like our Roman Catholic and
Episcopalian brothers and sisters we sing much of our liturgy. We have an
adult choir, and several times during the year our Sunday school children
present special music. Note that our hymns and service music are chosen
with all members in mind, including our children.
