Worship with Us
We welcome you to worship…
8:00 a.m. Contemplative Worship with Holy Communion
This service makes room for silence to reflect on the scripture readings, sermon, and prayer. Songs are short, repetitive Taizé style sung a cappella. Come and experience a smaller worshiping community that gives you the chance to recharge your batteries for the week ahead.
10:30 a.m. Traditional Worship with Holy Communion
This service embodies the full complement of weekly readings and liturgy, and features a robust chancel choir under the dynamic leadership of Minister of Music Dr. David Gresham, who is also a professor at Brevard College. Holy Communion is celebrated weekly. Come and experience this vibrant encounter with the risen Lord in word and sacrament.
Worship in February
Sunday, February 1: 4th Sunday after Epiphany - Text Focus: Micah 6: 1-8
God’s simple ask: Nothing too extravagant or over the top. Just “do what’s right.” Extend kindness. Don’t think more of yourself than you do of others. How have the kind, generous actions of others shaped you? How has someone simply doing what was right changed the trajectory of your life?
Sunday, February 8: 5th Sunday after Epiphany - Text Focus: Matthew 5: 13-20
It is no coincidence that at baptism, the newly baptized are presented with live fire and then challenged to carry that light into the world and let it shine brightly. How do you let your light shine before others? We do well to remember the light we shine is ours by possession, not by some innate power from within.
Sunday, February 15: Transfiguration Day - Text Focus: Matthew 17: 1-9
Jesus takes the fear out of our experiences. Even encounters with the Holy can strike fear in us. It is also a pivotal moment in Jesus’ journey in claiming his sonship. He is reminded (as are we) that his identity is secure has he prepares himself to do a hard thing.
Wednesday, February 18: Ash Wednesday - Text Focus: Matthew 6: 1-6, 16-21
Service at 7:00 p.m. with Imposition of Ashes & Holy Communion
Dust you are, and to dust you shall return. It sounds daunting. Yet we see again and again how new life can be, and is, breathed into that which is dry, dead, and incapable of renewing itself. Lent is the time for acknowledging the reality of death, while being reminded in the very core of our being that resurrection is what follows.
Sunday, February 22: 1st Sunday of Lent - Text Focus: Matthew 4: 1-11
What do we do when we are at the “bitter end” of the rope, or at our “wits end?” Jesus teaches us by example to cling to God’s word. What does it look like for us to hold onto the promises of Scripture when we feel susceptible to temptation or demise?
