What is Liturgy?

Worship follows the pattern of Sunday Dinner.

Baptism, Remembrance of Baptism and Confession and Forgiveness are like washing hands before dinner.

Hearing and singing the Word is like the conversation around the table.

Receiving holy communion is like dining at the table.

Blessing and dismissal are like leaving the dinner table and taking leave.

We welcome everyone to come and join us for worship and participate in our community!
