Fall Schedule Starts This Week

Beginning Wednesday, September 15th and Sunday, September 19th, we will move to our normal Fall worship schedule.

 

Sunday 8:30am — Traditional Worship

  • This service includes full liturgy, organ, and communion
  • Often features our Chancel Choir

 

Sunday 11:00am — Rejoice Worship

  • This service features contemporary music, a slightly lighter liturgy, and communion
  • Music led by our Rejoice Band

 

Wednesday 6:30pm — Spark Worship

  • Family-oriented worship that is light on liturgy and under 45 minutes, with communion
  • Features our high school Spark Band

 

A word from our Council President, Jan Martin:

After the listening session on July 18, a survey and discussions with those who could not attend, the ministry team had a lengthy discussion about worship this fall. This decision was made with the knowledge that two services on Sunday is more work for the ministry team. Some of the important factors in reaching this decision were:
1)     With two services it will be easier to respond to changing recommendations from the CDC and county health officials, and to maintain appropriate distance between family groups during worship as care for the health of our members is part of our ministry.
2)     The time between services will facilitate Sunday School, Bible Study and fellowship.
3)     Some members of the congregation prefer one service over the other.
This decision is supported by the church council, and will be reviewed as conditions change.

Worship Inside for the Rest of July

We planned to worship outside all summer, but the heat and smoke are making that uncomfortable. So, we will worship inside the sanctuary for the rest of July. August is TBD, but we have our eyes on:

 

  • Heat
  • Smoke
  • Rain

Summer Worship Is Here!

All summer long we will worship outdoors at 9:30am. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy our beautiful Montana mountains while we praise the creator!

 

  • Bring a lawn chair
  • Masks optional
  • Sunscreen up, sunglasses, hats, etc. to protect from the sun
  • Communion is celebrated at every worship

 

We will move into our sanctuary and celebrate worship indoors if it is:

  • raining
  • excessively windy
  • too smoky (in the unhealthy range)

Masks recommended indoors.
