For nearly 25 years our congregation has valued a collaborative worship model. An active Worship Committee works every month with the Minister to plan services for the congregation and to fill the pulpit on the Minister’s Sunday off. Lay-lead services have long enriched the congregation, letting us get to know each other in a deeper way and develop meaningful worship experiences that complement those of our settled minister.
Like most congregations we have our traditions in worship such as an ingathering water communion ceremony, an outdoor service to celebrate our relationship with nature, an All Soul’s service to honor those we have lost, a Winter Solstice service with greens, candles, and opportunities for all ages to share in the wonder as light changes and the cycle turns, two special music services, and opportunities for us to celebrate connection and service. Members and friends may have different spiritual backgrounds and interests, but worshipping together in an open and thoughtful way has made us a strong congregation with shared values and caring connections.
