Arriving: To welcome guests, the church has designated guest parking places near the Sanctuary entrance. Guests are welcomed by Greeters who can answer questions. There is generally a printed Order of Service that provides details about the service.

Introductions: There may be an opportunity for guests who wish to do so to introduce themselves to the congregation. This is not a requirement; guests may do what makes them comfortable.

Singing: There may be one or more songs in which congregants are invited to stand and sign. Hymnals are available to be picked up as people enter the Sanctuary and are returned at the end of the service.

Sunday service: Services are generally held in-person starting at 11 am each Sunday. They generally last about an hour, followed by a social “coffee hour” in which you may meet other congregation members.

Social hour: After the service, there is usually a coffee hour with coffee and tea and light refreshments. This is a time to meet members, lay leaders, and the minister.

What to wear: Dress as you feel comfortable. Attire is more on the casual side.
