Worship is the foundation of our living into God's Mission of "Rejoicing, Renewing and Reaching out." All three R's find a deeper place in our lives as we practice them in worship through:
1. Entering God's presence and after a call to worship, sing a joyful song or hymn of praise. (Rejoicing)
2. Acknowledging the remnants of the old life and self and letting them die on the cross through the call to and prayer of confession. This gives space for the new life to rise up. (Renewal)
3. Rising up through God's declaration of forgiveness and the singing of "Gloria!" (Renewal and Rejoicing)
4. Sharing the peace of Christ. (Joyfully Reaching out to our neighbor for the sake of renewed relationships)
5. Hearing God's good news. (All 3 R's)
6. Responding through gladly offering our prayers, gifts and selves to God. (Reaching out)
7. Reaching out to the world with joy and renewal. (All 3 R's)
Our Sunday morning worship service begins at 10:00 AM. Child care is provided for young children (infant through toddler). Children (pre-kindergarten through 5th grade) may attend Sunday School after the "Time with the Children" part of the worship service.
