Because we are such a small community, we have a robust time of greeting one another, and often, almost every person will shake hands, fist-bump, or hug every other person in the room! It’s noisy and joyful and a core part of how we practice being in community together. Our small size is also a blessing during our prayers of the people, a time in the service when folks are invited to share joys and concerns so that we can pray for one another. Folks who are shy about public speaking may jot down requests in the prayer journal near the entrance.

Every Sunday, you can be sure to expect music, scripture, and prayer!

We value creativity in worship. For us, that means incorporating visual art into our slides; creating seasonal art installations; rotating our sung responses often; and regularly scheduling services where the Word is not proclaimed as a sermon, but interactively with storytelling prompts, collaborative art-making, or through music. We also value incorporating social justice themes into everything we do. You’ll often hear scripture read from the Inclusive Language Bible, which uses expansive gendered language to talk about God, and occasionally, from the First Nation’s Translation.
