Sunday Worship Service at 10:30am is a wonderful mixture of traditional and contemporary - and everyone is welcome to come to this safe place. Hymns and responsive readings are projected on a screen located on the chancel.
Messages connect God’s Living Word from Holy Scripture to our everyday life. Modern and familiar hymns, lively choir anthems, children’s stories and prayers help provide for an uplifting service. Children and Youth are invited to attend the first part of the service, then go Lower Hall for Church School and Youth programs. There is also a “Quiet Room” at the back of the sanctuary for the very young.
The Worship Committee has requested that our Sunday Worship follow the Revised Common Lectionary. A lectionary is a table of lessons to be read in worship. Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian and United Churches (among others) have collaborated together to create the Revised Common Lectionary. This means that Sunday Worship in the many churches address the same biblical narrative. It also means that we can draw on resources from a wide variety of sources.
The lectionary divides the worship year into Seasons: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost. In worship, we even change the colours of the Sanctuary and the clergy vestments according to the season. Generally, the lectionary assigns four bible passages for each Sunday: a reading from the Old Testament, a psalm, a reading from the New Testament, and a reading from on of the Gospels. The lectionary is a three-year cycle and at the end of this cycle nearly all of the New Testament and a larger portion of the Old Testament will have been read and studied.
Prayer and Communion services, which are quiet reflective services of music and prayer, are held in the chapel at special times.
We encourage one another on our journey of faith during worship and in small study groups.
