"Worship is not a cheerful gathering of nice people who sing songs and feel good. |
Our Sunday services follow the fourfold pattern inherited from the early church:
We gather around God's word (introit, call to worship, hymn, prayer of confession) We hear God's word proclaimed (children's message, anthem, scripture readings, sermon) We respond in faith and gratitude (Apostles' Creed, pastoral prayer, Lord's Prayer) We go out into the world (hymn, benediction, postlude) The spirit of our worship could best be described as 'joyful reverence', with a robed choir, hymns old and new accompanied by the pipe organ, and a desire to offer to God that which is both beautiful and thoughtful. |
We do not believe that praising God in other ways is somehow inferior, yet we have found that the beauty and depth of historic Christian worship reminds us that the path of faith is not traveled alone, but in the footsteps of the many generations who have gone before us.
At the 10:00 AM service (except during the summer months) you're likely to hear the choir sing an introit and anthem most weeks, with the Liberty Bells and French Creek Brass Quintet occasionally offering special music as well. There is no choral or instrumental music at the 8:30 AM service.
Our worship may include the celebration of Holy Communion, which Christ both instituted and commanded his disciples to continue (I Corinthians 11:23-26). The Presbyterian church welcomes baptized Christians of any age to receive Communion, but visitors are under no obligation to participate. We typically celebrate Communion on the following dates:

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord JESUS, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. I Corinthians 11:23-26 (NIV) |
If you plan to visit us, you can find parking in the church's two lots: one adjoining the south side of the building, and one on the east side of Liberty Street. On-street parking is also available nearby. We welcome children! Childcare is available during the 10:00 AM service, but children are also welcome to remain in the sanctuary with their families if they prefer.
