Service

What to Expect During a Service

We invite you to be our guest Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. where you can dress how you want. The pastor wears bow ties, but people mostly wear comfortable clothing (from casual to athleisure).
•We sing the Lord’s Prayer rather than recite it. We’re fond of Parker Palmer’s version.
•About twice a month we have a “Personal Reflection” where someone from the community speaks for 5-7 minutes about something on their heart. Topics have ranged from why I pray and why I don’t believe in God to why birding is important to me and how I dealt with my grief when my parents died and almost anything you can imagine in-between.
•Laughter is encouraged (but there are tissues in every pew if it’s not a laughter kind of day).
•After the Lord’s Prayer kids are invited to join Jessica downstairs or they are welcome to remain in the sanctuary.
•We invite you to write down on the prayer intentions paper whatever you need to put down.
•Communion is offered the first Sunday of every month and all are welcome to the table.
•We are Welcoming and Affirming of our LGBTQIA+ siblings.
•Our coffee is amazing! (except when we accidentally get decaf!)
•If you bike, take the bus or walk or drive to Judson and then decide you just can’t come in that’s fine too. Test runs are cool. And there’s a livestream (you can click on the link above to see past Sundays as well).
