Worship

From September through June, our worship service begins at 10:00 am, both in person and streaming on our Facebook page.

Our church embraces a different pace for worship in July and August. We plan for several different kinds of worship experiences (at different times) in the summer, including online options available to you wherever you are. Join us in person, and/or engage our online offerings posted on our Facebook page.

Plan to visit our Events page or our Facebook page to stay informed about our summer worship opportunities.

Our church building is at 27 Church Street in Presque Isle. You may park on Church Street, or in our lot behind the church. There are three entrances: a front door to the sanctuary with stairs, and ground level doors on the driveway side and the rear of the building, with access to an elevator.

Our worship service is composed of mostly traditional elements, with some modern touches in the music, projected images and videos. The language of our liturgy, the sermons, and prayers reflects a progressive theology.

Communion is generally celebrated once each month, distributed to the congregation in the pews. All are welcome at the communion table.

The service usually lasts about an hour with fellowship time after — Coffee Hour!

To get the best sense of our worship, watch an archived recording of a recent service on our Facebook page, or if you are online, join our Facebook Live stream Sunday mornings at 10:00 am (September - June).

Worship Ministry

Members of the Worship Ministry share responsiblilty for planning and leading all worship services.

Each Sunday, a member of the congregation, or a guest minister or speaker, will share a message for those gathered in person and online. Individuals from the congregation take on other worship roles, leading the congregation in liturgical responses, prayers, or the reading of scripture.

Music

The congregational singing of hymns is accompanied by pianist Barbara Merryman. Our dedicated choir members share an anthem on most Sundays. The choir is always eager to have new voices join them. Contact our church office if you’d like to know more about participating. Meredith Donahue is our choir director.

Other music selections in our worship service are pre-recorded pieces by churches and artists with the capacity to create and share high-quality digitally-distributed hymns, anthems, and songs with sacred content.
