Summer Services

At our church, Sundays take on a slightly different character during the summer months.
  • We still meet at 10:30 each Sunday morning, but summer services tend to be more informal.
  • Our minister is not in the pulpit during the summer. Instead we have lay-led services on a variety of topics.
  • Summer services include many of the same elements as our regular services, such as a greeting and announcements, readings, sharing of joys and sorrows, and an offering.
  • Our choir takes the summer off, but you may hear guest musicians or recorded music, and we might sing a hymn or two.
  • Sunday school classes are not offered in the summer. Children may either attend the worship service with their families or enjoy supervised free play in the children’s wing. (Please sign in and introduce your child to the child care attendant.)
