Plan your visit we saved you a seat.
Everything you might wonder before walking in for the first time — when to come, where to park, what happens, and what to do with the children.
When and where
Come to whichever service suits you. The 9:00 is quiet and short; the 11:00 has the choir, the organ and the children’s blessing.
-
Sunday 9:00 am
Said Communion
Quiet, spoken, 45 minutes. Sunday School runs alongside.
-
Sunday 11:00 am
Sung Worship
Choir, organ and hymns, about an hour. Nursery available.
-
Wednesday 6:30 pm
Supper & Study
A shared meal in the hall, then an hour with the week's readings.
Your first Sunday starts at the red doors.
Nobody will single you out, and nobody will ask for anything. Here is what the morning looks like.
-
Arrive
Park on Linden Avenue or in our lot behind the hall. A greeter at the red doors will point you to a seat, the nursery, and the coffee.
-
Worship
About an hour of hymns, scripture, a twenty-minute sermon, and communion. Everything you need to follow along is printed in the bulletin.
-
Stay
Coffee and something baked in the hall afterward. No sign-up sheets, no pressure — just a chance to meet a few people.
Good questions
The things people most often ask before their first Sunday. Anything else, call the office — a real person answers.
What should I wear?
Whatever you are comfortable in. You will see suits and you will see jeans, sometimes in the same pew.
Is there something for my children?
A staffed nursery for under-threes runs through both services. Older children join Sunday School at 9:00 and come back in for communion.
Is the building accessible?
Yes. There is a ramp at the Linden Avenue door, an accessible restroom off the hall, and large-print bulletins at the welcome table.
Do I have to be a member to take communion?
No. Everyone is welcome at the table. If you would rather not receive, cross your arms and the priest will offer a blessing.
Can I just come and sit at the back?
Of course. Plenty of people have started exactly there, and nobody will ask you to stand up and introduce yourself.
Give what keeps the doors open.
Your gifts keep the doors open, the soup on, and the food pantry stocked for about two hundred families a week. Give in the offering plate on Sunday, by check to the church office, or online.
