Worship Series
Sing Christmas!
Advent Worship Series
On the night Jesus was born, God gave the world a perfect song, with the promise of eternal hope and joy. This is our reason to "Sing Christmas!" You're invited to worship throughout Advent, the season of waiting before Christmas, to experience the story of Jesus' birth as told in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
Each week, we will explore different aspects of the nativity story, including following the people God set in place to bring about the profound message of salvation. Let us gather together and lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving, to celebrate the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Ash Wednesday Worship
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season, and a time when we contemplate our mortality, sinfulness, and need of a Savior, remembering with confidence and gratitude that Christ has conquered death and sin. The worship service includes a prayer of confession and the imposition of ashes to symbolize our frailty and death. From dust we came, from dust we shall return. Check our calendar for the date of this service each year.
Night of Hope
During this annual worship service in December, we explore together ways in which to cope and find hope for loss amidst the noise of Christmas. This service includes honoring those we have lost by naming our Saints who have gone before us. A bell will be rung after each loved one is named. If you would like to name a special person in your life who you have lost, email Pastor Chris or Molly Riedel.
Sundays
Children's Sunday School, and Preschool and Nursery Care
K-5 kids experience God's love through a dynamic, interactive Sunday School experience at 9am each Sunday, while adults worship in the Great Room.
During the 10am hour from September - June, Celebration Choir (for grades K-5) rehearses in the Choir Room, and children's fellowship is available in Room 119. During the 11am service, elementary aged children are invited to worship with their families in the Great Room.
Our youngest disciples - infants, toddlers and preschool age - are welcome in a more intimate classroom or nursery environment during worship services and the 10am hour, where they learn about God's love for them through caring volunteers and age-appropriate activities. Nursery and preschool classrooms are located in the hallway between the Great Room and Ruth Hall; you can be directed there when you enter the Worship Center
