The contemplative service creates time and space to experience God in a different way in worship. This style of worship follows a similar order of worship as our 11 a.m. service and uses the same scripture but is more intimate and experiential. The service will be unique each week. It may incorporate elements of silence, reflective prayer, music, and/or meditation; however, communion will be served each week. Is it your first time visiting us?
