When you come to worship

About
​kids

We love having children in worship! We think their fidgeting and noises are a part of our liturgy just like any other contributions. We also know that children learn by doing. 

One pew of our sanctuary is a dedicated pray-ground for small children. At this time, we are reserving this space for one household at a time during worship. 

There is also a nursery with a window and speaker that look out onto the sanctuary. At this time, we are reserving this space for one household at a time during worship.

We are doing our level best to sanitize all spaces and items in these areas between Sunday worship services. We are grateful for your help if you have it to give.

About
​your body

We wear all kinds of things to worship, jeans, dresses, hats, sparkles, boots. We want you to come just as you are, dressed in whatever way makes you most comfortable. What you wear isn’t what is important to us about you. 

The one thing we will ask you to wear is a face mask. We know they’re not mandatory and that they might not always be necessary. 
However, we have people in our community who are medically vulnerable. So, for the time being, we are wearing our masks to make all bodies welcome. 

Our sanctuary has space for mobility assistance devices right in the pews. 

We have non-gendered and also ADA compliant bathrooms available. 

If you have any questions about worshipping with us, please don’t hesitate to call before you arrive.

There is no better place to experience the paradox of faith than in the liturgy of Sunday morning. 

Each Sunday morning we gather to stand on the shoulders of an ancient liturgy. For some people this might bring to mind dusty, old, rote phrases and dirge-like hymns. We believe liturgy is more than that, that it is a microcosm for a way of life, where our 2,000 year old heritage meets our present-day experience. 

Like the faithful before us, we too confess our desperate need for God's mercy and at the same time are equipped by the Holy Spirit to be Christ's body in the world. As followers of Christ have always done, we are re-membered to God and to one another in the Eucharist. 

Unlike those before us, we do not sing the same songs they did or use the same instruments (usually). We do not use the same language they did (usually). In our Sunday liturgy we practice the ancient patterns of worship with our current language and understanding. This means we use inclusive language, we acknowledge scientific understanding, and we translate the story of God through our diverse gifts and experience. 

Our liturgy is different every Sunday, depending on who is present, and what they are contributing. Some Sundays are celebratory and high energy. Some Sundays are calm and pensive. Always, we are responding to God in our midst and practicing for a life of discipleship in Christ. We invite you to come and participate as you feel called.
