We continue in the season of Pentecost, which
runs through November 23rd. Then we enter into the season of
Advent.
Children are welcome in worship
and encouraged to come forward for the Young Person's message. Rainbow activity bags
are available for little ones. The nursery is also available for infants and
toddlers, staffed by regular caregivers from September to May and by volunteer adult and
youth members in summer.
Holy Communion
All baptized persons are welcome who believe Christ comes to us in the bread and the wine
to bring forgiveness, life, and salvation. Children not yet communing come forward
for a blessing. Children receive instruction and usually have First Communion in
Fifth grade. We receive the sacrament standing. Grape juice is available.
~ The Lighted Globe
at the back of the sanctuary is for the lighting of a votive candle by anyone wishing to
express a particular prayer or hope in this symbolic way. Candles remain lit after
all have gone, a visible sign of the prayers of our community of faith "for the whole
people of God, and for all people according to their needs."
