What a Sunday feels like
Sunday worship is at 9:30 a.m. Enter through the nearest glass double door, where someone will greet you. You get a bulletin to follow, and some participatory parts are shown on a large screen. Music blends traditional organ with contemporary music. Dress is relaxed: some wear dress clothes, others shorts and sandals. The pastor leads a short Children's Time; from September through May children may then go to Sunday School, and a volunteer-staffed nursery is available. Communion is on the first Sunday of the month and all are invited. You do not have to give when the plate passes. Coffee and snacks follow, and you are under no obligation to stay.
We are very relaxed about appearance, even during worship services. You will find some people wear dress clothes and others shorts and sandals. So, wear whatever you feel most comfortable in.Step-free entry
