Outdoor Service

At various times of the year there are worship services outside of the usual time and format. They reflect a special season or holy time.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, there are two worship services. The 5:00 pm service is especially geared for families and includes a dramatization of the Story of Jesus' birth. The 10:00 pm service is quieter and includes communion. Carols are sung at both services and many people attend both. Childcare is provided only at the 5:00 pm service.

Ash Wednesday
February 17, 2010

The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, and it is our FCC tradition to mark this beginning with the mark of ash and prayers.  We gather as an intergenerational community for a brief service, which includes the imposition of ashes and oil as a sign of human frailty and God’s unfailing love and mercy.  The service will also include chants of the Taize community, candlelight, and story.  All ages are warmly invited for this interactive and engaging service. Begin the Lenten season with your church family. 

Palm Sunday—March 28

Maundy Thursday - April 1

Maundy Thursday is during Holy Week just before Easter and this service is a solemn remembrance of the events that occurred at the end of Jesus' life. Holy Communion is part of this service.  (Childcare is availabe upon request)

Good Friday – April 2
Prayer Vigils—Sanctuary—6 a.m.- 6 p.m.

During Holy Week, the labyrinth will be set up in the Chapel and open for use during church office hours (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.)  It will also be available on Wednesday night, March 31 from 5-8 p.m.

Easter Sunday - April 4

Worship Services at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Easter Morning Activities and Fellowship Hour—10 a.m.

Between the services there are children's activities and fellowship opportunities. The worship services are similar with just the variance of liturgists and candle lighters. Childcare is provided at both services.

Outdoor Service

One Sunday during August, we move our service outdoors to appreciate the natural setting and beauty outside. It is a casual Sunday followed by a common meal and games.

Taize

In December, we have a Taize service that includes chants and prayers. It is a simple style with the focus on music and meditation.
