WORSHIP

From the Sunday after Labor Day through Memorial Day, Sunday school classes start the morning with a worship service following.  We generally follow a traditional Presbyterian service format, occasionally sprinkled with more modern elements.  Special services vary with the season.

Our congregation utilizes two different forms of serving communion.  The traditional Presbyterian form is where the congregation remains seated in the pews and the elders of the congregation serve the elements to the congregation by passing trays through the pews.  Each person takes a portion of the element and holds it until all have been served. The pastor then indicates that all should eat/drink the bread/grape juice.

The other form of serving the communion is called intinction.  This form is a style which has the members of the congregation come forward to "stations" where the pastor and elders have the elements.  Each person takes a portion of bread from a common loaf and then dips it into a cup containing the grape juice.  The person then returns to their seat.
