Weekly worship follows a particular order: we gather to worship God, we confess our sin to God, we listen to the word of God read and proclaimed, we respond with gratitude and joy, and we follow the word of God into the world. Our annual church calendar is organized by seasons and the liturgical calendar as follows:
Advent: A season to recollect the hope of the coming of Christ, and to look forward to the Lord’s coming again.
Christmas: A celebration of the birth of Christ.
Epiphany: A day for commemorating God’s self-manifestation to all people.
Lent: A season of spiritual discipline and preparation, beginning with Ash Wednesday, anticipating the celebration of the death and resurrection of Christ.
Holy Week: A time of remembrance and proclamation of the atoning suffering and death of Jesus Christ.
Easter: The day of the Lord’s resurrection and the season of rejoicing which commemorates his ministry until his Ascension.
The Day of Pentecost:
The celebration of the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church.
The two sacraments observed by Presbyterians are baptism and communion.
Baptism
Baptism is the sign and seal of incorporation into Christ. Baptism points us back to the grace of God expressed in Jesus Christ, who died for us and who was raised for us. Baptism points us forward to that same Christ who will fulfill God’s purpose in God’s promised future. While we typically baptize infants, people of any age who are not already baptized are welcome to partake of this sacrament.
Communion
The Lord’s Supper is the sign and seal of eating and drinking in communion with the crucified and risen Lord. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper approximately once a month. Typically, communion is shared by passing plates of bread and cups of juice around the congregation. At some services, communion is offered by intinction, when each person pulls a piece of bread from a loaf and dips it in a cup of juice.
