This fall, we will have a varied liturgical rotation, offering several different styles, which will include: New Life Rising, a contemporary liturgy that is especially accessible for all ages, often with percussion and guitar; A Reformation/Renaissance Liturgy, that will draw upon music of Martin Luther’s era and the church’s long-standing treasury of hymnody and chorales; and A Liturgy of Reform and Protest (in the spirit of the Protestant Reformation), based on music that is newer.

  • June 23 — First Outdoor Worship Sunday, Pastor Carol Tomer + A light lunch follows worship, as we move toward them Congregational Meeting that begins around 11:30 am.

For communion, we will continue with intinction (dipping wafers into the wine/grape juice), and we will begin using a “divided chalice.” That means that we will use a chalice that has two sections within it — a bigger section for wine, and a smaller section for grape juice. And, the plate with the wafers will be similar, with a smaller section for the gluten-free wafers.

Worship will NOT be livestreamed. Video recordings of the sermon will be posted on Sunday afternoon at 3pm on Facebook, YouTube, and here on the the website
