Our liturgy attempts to embody all that God wants and all that God is doing with us and for us in our daily lives.

Our time together attempts to capture the hospitality of God and to help us to identify with who we are as children of God, and seeks to nurture, shape and transform us to do God’s work in the world

The service begins as the choir and the minister arrive at the rear of the church and follow the cross towards the altar; which symbolizes us following the way that Christ taught to the table of God’s presence and God’s abundance.

We sing together a song of praise and then all are welcomed to this our house of prayer. Next, we are led through a series of prayer and praises to situate us in the presence of God and then we sit to listen and attend to the Word of God.

Through the appointed scripture readings for the day and the sermon, we “break open” God’s word, in an attempt to learn anew what God intends for us and for the world.

After the ministry of the Word, we pause to reflect on all the ways we and the world are not as God intends; then we pause to give thanks for the many gifts that God has given us and the blessings in our lives and we offer our prayers of thanksgiving and intercession.

After our prayers, we offer to God our general confession, seeking after God to transform the intentions of our own hearts into the goodness they were created for and we receive an absolution to remind us of God’s unabounded, unconditional love and transformative power.

Gathered, nurtured, opened up and forgiven, we entrust ourselves and our world to God in Christ, and we reconnect ourselves to Jesus' words “my peace I give you” and we share that peace with one another.

The Great Thanksgiving is the next part of the service. Here we give back to God from what God has given us and we share in the meal that Jesus gave us. We remember the Road to Emmaus where Jesus was known in the breaking of the bread and we gather around God's table to reconnect with the presence of God in these holy mysteries.

Our Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. At this table we receive God’s love, God’s healing, God’s forgiveness, God’s Peace in Christ. At this table, all are welcome and all are fed so that we might go out and feed others.

As the service concludes, we are sent out to live as changed people, to live as God’s people, loving and caring in the world. At the end of the service, announcements are made, to highlight the ways in which we can and do respond in faith to the needs of others.

As we sing the last hymn, the candles are put out, symbolizing the light that moves from this place to shine through our hearts and the procession reforms again to follow the cross that leads us back out into our lives, nurtured and empowered by the Spirit of God to do God’s work in the world.
