“It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates God’s presence to humanity.” C.S. Lewis
We rely heavily upon lay leadership. Members participate each Sunday by leading litanies, prayers, and scripture readings. Children also help lead worship regularly, reading scripture, singing, and participating in our liturgy. Our pastor generally bases her sermons on scripture using a set of weekly readings called the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The RCL covers most of the Biblical narrative in a three-year rotation. Each summer we depart from the lectionary for different sermon series.
We follow the liturgical calendar and observe the seasons of Advent, Lent, and Easter as well as holy days like Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Pentecost, and World Communion Sunday. Special emphases, worship aids, colors, and banners highlight each season or Holy day.
