Worship and Music at FPC

Visitors are always very welcome at any service of worship! Worship Service at FPC takes place every Sunday. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, worship is from 9:30 to 10:30. After Labor Day up until Memorial Day, worship (preceded by church school) occurs from 10:30-11:30. 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!"
