Sunday Worship
|
We gather every Sunday for worship at 10:45 A.M. You can join us in-person at 700 Poyntz or worship with us online. This is the best place to get to know us and become part of us. Our service is probably best described as "informal traditional." Laughter and tears are a part of almost every gathering. We sing and pray and contemplate God together. Hearty "Amens!" are always welcome and appreciated. It's a time to feed our souls and gather the strength we need to go back into the world and keep persisting in love.
We take the Bible seriously, not literally and strive to create services that relate scripture to the cultural and political issues that impact our lives. We often use contemporary readings and prayers as a part of our service. Each week we pray a different version of the Prayer of Jesus (also known as The Lord's Prayer) and also share our own celebrations and worries aloud together. We seek to be intentionally inclusive in worship, especially in our use of language for God and for God’s people. We value the presence of all ages and types of people in worship. You may notice children and adults fidgeting or standing up to stretch worship. That's okay. We trust that we can all remember we're not all wired the same and some people need to move about. Babies and children are always welcome in worship - either in the pews or in the Pray Ground. We also provide developmentally-appropriate care in our nursery and children's ministries for those who prefer explore other options. | learn more about our children's ministries Music is an important part of our worship service. We typically sing traditional hymns, accompanied by our piano or organ. But if you stick around long enough, you'll also experience trombones and tambourines. | More information about music at FCUCC Communion is served the first Sunday of each month at our services. Absolutely everyone is welcome to join us at Christ's table. We serve gluten-free bread and grape juice. |
