Getting Involved in Worship and MusicWorship
Some services are planned and presented entirely by volunteers, but all services involve at least some lay member participation: as speakers and readers, as sound system operators and ushers, building altars or providing flowers and other decorations.

Organizing worship services takes a lot of energy! Volunteers are involved in planning and presenting both the Together and traditional worship services on Sunday mornings as well as other services at various times. The Together service is a shorter (45-minute), all-ages, intergenerational service that is particularly welcoming to families with young children who wish to worship together.
