worship

"Perhaps nothing helps us make the movement
from our little selves to a larger world than remembering God in gratitude. ​
Such a perspective puts God in view in all of life, ​
not just in the moments we set aside for worship or spiritual disciplines. 
Not just in the moments when life seems easy.”

10AM unified worship
(Memorial Day - end of October)

​Currently, we are in our summer schedule which has us worshiping in one service at 10AM from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.  These services bring together a mix of worship styles:  traditional and less formal, pipe organ and guitar, active and contemplative.
 
We usually worship in our sanctuary on summer Sundays, but occasionally we opt for the less formal setting of our Fellowship Hall.  Look for the streamers outside for the worship location.   

During the summer months (May-August) in the 9AM hour, you can join in on a small group or Sunday School class.  Our Prayer Shawl Ministry, #FCCROCKS and Disciples Class will all be in session!  Learn more about these groups....

9AM wellsprings

 It might best be described as a “blended” service which offers touches of both contemporary and traditional worship. 
​
Our Encounter Praise Singers lead our singing and provide special musical offerings. Most Sundays include a sermon and communion which is served by “intinction,” or dipping bread in the juice as worshippers come forward. 

But in this service, there is more of a spirit of experimenting and trying new things. You might get the scripture or the sermon through a dramatic presentation. Nothing wild or crazy, but we recognize fewer boundaries.

11AM traditional

Our more traditional worship experience is a
​more recognizable Disciples of Christ service. 

​ Held in our historic and timeless sanctuary, the familiar order of service includes organ music,  more traditional hymns, anthems by our Chancel Choir, a sermon,  and communion presided over by our Elders and served by our Deacons. 

Here too, we try to shake it up from time to time as we remember that God will not be confined,  but generally more time-honored styles shape this service.
