What time are Sunday services?

 Sunday School begins at 9:30am - we hope to begin regular classes again on May 1, 2022; congregational worship begins at 10:30am.

What should I wear?

Wear what is comfortable for you. There will be a few suits and dresses, and there will be jeans and t-shirts. Whatever you wear is fine.

Where should I park?

Come up the driveway to the right—it’s a one-way loop around the church building. There is parking in front of the building, in the back, and on the lower side. There are all access parking spaces marked behind the building and there is an accessibility ramp entrance to the building there. The sanctuary is on this main level. There is also a ground-level entry to the building from the lower lot, with handicap parking spaces there, to access the lower level of the building where the Fellowship Hall is located.

Am I welcome to take communion?

Yes. All are welcome at the table. We most often share communion by intinction, taking a piece of bread and dipping it into the cup, at three stations across the front of the sanctuary. Children usually come to the center station where a minister offers them a short time of blessing and connection.

What if I am differently abled?

There are barrier-free entries on the main level (in the rear) and the lower level (from the lower parking lot.) We are deeply sorry that our 1950’s-era building was not built with accessibility in mind. We have studied the possibility of installing an elevator, but with our split-level facility, there is not a location to place an elevator that would reach all 3 levels. 

There is a gender-neutral, wheelchair accessible restroom on the main floor.

There is an Assistive Listening System in the rear of the sanctuary for worshippers who are hard of hearing. The sound technician, to the left as you enter the rear of sanctuary, can assist you in locating a loop that connects with your T-coil hearing aid or a set of wireless headphones. 

There are large-print hymnals in the sanctuary on the pew to the left as you enter, against the back wall.

Anything else I should know?

The worship hour begins with an announcement time at 10:30am. Bells are chimed to signal the beginning of worship; often, the choir sings introductory music from the entry doors to the sanctuary. If you arrive after 10:30, you’ll want to watch through the glassed French doors in the foyer until the choir processional begins. Otherwise, you might find yourself in the middle of a choral experience you hadn’t bargained for!

Our church library is an absolute gem. It’s located on the main floor across from the church offices. Most children’s medal-winning books are there along with fiction and non-fiction for adults and young-adult readers. Feel free to visit the library and check out a book for yourself. Stamp and ink pad are on the desk.

There are gender-neutral restrooms on the main floor and the lower floor of the building. The restroom on the main floor, just past the church offices, is handicap accessible. On the top floor, there are gender-specific restrooms.
