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.
