Worship and Music at FPC

Visitors are always very welcome at any service of worship! Worship Service at FPC takes place every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.. Worship will be followed by fellowship time and then church school for all ages. Our service usually follows a fairly traditional form, using the Revised Common Lectionary.

A lay worship leader, a special time for children, the sharing of joys and concerns by worshippers in attendance, and frequently a "Minute for Mission" are regular features. Our worship is infused with creativity in presentation, illustrated by dramatic touches for scripture readings. The Lord's Supper is celebrated roughly 10 times a year, by either Intinction or pew distribution. Children aged three through third grade take part in a special program called "Disciples' Treehouse" after they attend the opening segment of corporate worship.
 

FPC has a long-standing reputation for excellent music. Worship music is consciously and carefully blended in style and pacing each week. We usually sing from both The Presbyterian Hymnal and a songbook of more "contemporary" songs called "Lift Up Your Hearts". Our four-part choir and congregation sing well, with leadership from acoustic instruments and under the direction of the choir director. Piano and pipe organ are heard every week, and approximately once a month, the handbell choir plays as well.

During 2004, we also held a series of afternoon Taize services in Lent as well as a monthly, evening "Rock Service" put together by one of our high schoolers and his friends.


"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised!"
