The foundation of our life as a church is worship. It is a time to remember and celebrate God’s transformational presence in the world and in our lives through…
- the Word read and proclaimed,
- choral and instrumental music that warms the heart and stirs the soul,
- lively, creative liturgy that expresses the poetry of our faith,
- the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, in which we are marked as Christ’s own and share the Bread and Cup as a community bound together in Love
We gather for worship every Sunday morning at 10:30 am in the Sanctuary, and observe the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of each month.
There is no “dress code”! We come reverently, but we also come as we are – as God always receives us. Some of us are dressed casually, and others come in jackets and ties. Whoever you are or however you look, you are welcome here.
And to those of you who are the parents of young children – Relax! God put the wiggle in children. Don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house. The presence of children is a gift from above! Ask the usher for a children’s packet when you arrive.
Sunday School
We come from many different religious backgrounds, but all seek to grow into mature, informed, and faithful disciples. Friendship strives to be a safe space where questions are welcome, and we can discuss the great issues of faith and life in the contemporary world with integrity, honesty, and respect.
Before worship, we gather in the Friendship Room at 9:30 AM to study the scripture passages which will be read in service that day. No preparation is needed. This is an informal group that simply enjoys spending time together and loves to welcome newcomers!
