Let us know you're coming

We'd love to meet you.

Questions

Questions we hear a lot.

I’ve never been to a liturgical service. Will I be lost?

Not at all. Everything is printed in the order of worship, and you can simply listen.

Why do you meet in the evening?

Evening prayer is one of the oldest Christian practices. It is also a good way to end a weekend and begin a week.

Can I take communion?

All who are seeking Jesus are welcome at the table. You can also come forward for a blessing.

Is there childcare?

Children are welcome in the gathering, and there is a Godly Play circle during the homily.

Do I need to stay for supper?

No, but we hope you will. It is the best part of the night.
