Sanctuary Worship – Sundays at 10 a.m. – Sunday Sanctuary Worship is our morning worship service of prayer and praise. Through Scripture and sermons, prayer, music, and sacrament, we gather to grow in faith, find comfort and support, enjoy fellowship, and glory in God’s presence through the beautiful music of our Chancel Choir and organ. Children are welcome to worship in the sanctuary or in the Kids’ Zone in the narthex. Nursery care is provided. God’s “children” of all ages are welcome participants. We are in mission each week as we gather canned goods for the Westside Food Bank. The fellowship of Coffee Hour following the service is an informal time to connect with friends old and new.
