When you arrive for the worship service...

A greeter will be there at the welcome station to hand you a program.

Before entering the sanctuary, you will see other people gathering in the narthex (the room outside the sanctuary) to chat for a while before the service starts. This is a good time for you to introduce yourself and get to know some of the members of our church!

As the pianist/organist begins to play the opening music, you are welcome to come into the sanctuary and sit where you would like.

Our worship services usually last from 45 min. - 1 hr. If you wish to participate in the worship service, instructions for sitting, standing, singing and praying will all be given by the worship leader during the service.
