Tidbits for a New Seedling
​to our Church

• What kind of services can I attend?

We have two morning services on Sundays:
8am -- Quiet, meditative Holy Eucharist; approximately 50 minutes in length.
10am -- Holy Eucharist with Music typically accompanied with the organ or piano and a Choir (during the school year); approximately an hour in length.

There are also services during the week:
Mid-Day Worship --   Our Thursday service has Healing Service included; this service starts at 12pm, led by one of our parishioners, and is in our St. Luke's Chapel through the Community Room of our Church (enter through the left side entrance of our Church building). 

• What do I have to do?

There's nothing you have to do, just bring yourself! If you feel comfortable, you can join in the responses and/or the music, or you can use the time to pray in the presence of God.  

• Do I bring anything?

We do not expect anyone to bring anything, only themselves.  Family, children, friends, coworkers can tag along, too!  
Donations, offerings are welcome at the individual's discretion, but not expected.  We do not push for any monetary givings as that is not what worship and fellowship is about in this tree.  

• Children?

Children are ALWAYS welcome in our church! There is a play area on the left side of the pews as you are facing the altar and occasional Sunday School in our Community Room.  We understand children are full of energy and we encourage them to be who they are just as we encourage any child of God to be themselves, even if it means them wandering around the church during the service!

Please note -- Sunday school is open when there are children present and a teacher available.  Please inquire when you come in for the service!

• How can I get involved?

There are numerous branches that offer opportunities to get involved, in and outside the worship services.

The branches around the worship services can include Acolytes, Altar Guild (setting up for the service or cleaning up after the service), Usher, Coffee Hour assistant, Choir, Tech Crew, and Lay Readers. 

Outside the worship services, there are branches that provide assistance to maintain our place of worship and property (including the Parish Hall).  There are Lay Weeders who help maintain the landscaping throughout the year and Property Stewards to oversee the care and repairs of both our buildings.

But wait, there's more!  We also have branches reaching out to the community that are always welcoming volunteers.  In our Parish Hall, a Soup Kitchen is open several times a week to offer food for anyone in need of nutrition to keep moving forward.  There is also a Clothing Closet that offers clothing for anyone in need for warmth and general protection of their bodies.  

• What is your music like?

Our music director provides a variety of music ranging from classical to Christian, and is typically performed on the organ or the piano.  We also have a Choir that performs anthems during the service a couple times a month during the school year. On occasion, we have visiting musicians who offer their remarkable talents to brighten our service up a little more.

• What do I wear?

Preferably clothing of any kind - pajamas, costumes (children-friendly if possible), sweatpants and hoodie, and even formal wear if you desire!
