At the heart of congregational life is public worship. We gather to hear God’s Word and celebrate the Lord’s Supper (Eucharist) on Sundays at 9 AM, 11 AM, and 5 PM, and on Wednesdays at Noon.

Many persons are needed to make our worship services effective and meaningful for our members and visitors. For any of these tasks there is orientation and training available. Your interest in serving will be matched with our help in preparing you for these tasks.

To learn more about any of the following or to volunteer for any of these roles, please contact Jack Reiffer, Worship Committee Chair.
