This is a traditional service. New Song at Nine (15) The 9:15 service is also held in the Chapel. New Song at Nine (15) is a contemporary service with upbeat music provided by our band. On the last Sunday of the month, a mission project is planned. Mission projects have included cleaning neighborhood parks, assisting at the domestic violence shelter and doing yard work at Kemmerer Village, a Presbyterian children's home. 10:30 Service The 10:30 service is held in the sanctuary. This is a blended service. It uses some elements of contemporary services with the more traditional responsive readings and hymns. Taizé Service The Taizé service is held on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:15 from September through May. This prayer service offers a taste of the character of the contemplative prayer services at the Community of Taizé. As at Taizé, the music has been chosen to help us enter into a time of silence and in song. The meditative songs offer short, repeated expressions of prayer, which may become our own prayers as we hear them, gradually come to learn them, and begin to join in singing them. You are invited to listen to the musicians repeating the songs while you settle into a sense of comfort in singing them yourself. Let the words and music slowly and gently fill you, drawing you to turn your attention to God in song and silent prayers.
