Worship Times

From September to the end of June, worship services are held in the sanctuary each Sunday from 11 a.m. to noon. Song and spoken word are emphasized in an atmosphere of beauty and dignity. An magnificent organ, adult, teen and a junior choirs and guest artists perform both traditional and contemporary music. Sermons draw from Biblical and modern literature. People of diverse theological persuasions find the experience inspiring and spiritual.

Special Sunday services are held on Mother's Day, when children are formally dedicated, on Halloween Sunday with the "March of the Goblins" and on Memorial Day and Thanksgiving Sundays. The four festive Sundays of Christmas Advent season culminate in three candlelight Christmas Eve services attended by more than 3,000 people. Palm Sunday and Easter are celebrated, as are Yom Kippur and Passover.

June 21 through September 6 2009, the worship services are held in the more intimate, less formal (and air conditioned!) chapel on Sundays from 10-11:00 a.m. Lay members of the congregation frequently conduct the service and deliver the sermon.
