SUMMARY:Worship (Sa)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday evening worship is a contemplative communion service. Whichever pastor is preaching on Sunday\, preaches and leads worship on Saturday night. The service is guided by a contemplative sense: a slower pace\, room for silence\, and a simpler service order. The altar is on the main floor\, and much of the music is led from a piano within the gathered community. The service is generally about 45 minutes long\, with 40-50 people regularly gathering. After worship\, there is a social time with non-alcoholic beverages\, wine\, beer\, and finger food like cheese and crackers\, dip\, and sweets. \nJoin the Livestream
