Worship lies at the heart of the life of any community of faith. In worship, we come together to acknowledge the holiness of God, to hear the stories of our tradition, to offer prayer, and to celebrate God’s continuing presence among us. All are welcome to participate in our worship because it is in worship that we live out our life as people seeking God.

Children then return to the service in time for Communion.

Wednesday | 5:30p HEALING SERVICE
Windsor, Nave
This quiet, reflective service takes time to pray specifically for those whose names appear on our prayer lists – those who suffer in any way, our expectant mothers and newborn babies and their families, those who have died, and those serving in the armed forces. Anointing of the Sick is offered to those who so desire, and the liturgy concludes with Holy Communion.
