The Liturgy is the order of worship we use each Sunday to help us approach the Living God.  Liturgy means "the work of the people." One of the great advantages of liturgy is that it involves all of the congregation in the worship of God.  For example, instead of just one person saying a prayer, there are many opportunities for the whole congregation to pray.  Sometimes those prayers are free-flowing, sometimes they are a set wording.  Liturgy also helps connect our worship to history.  Some of the prayers we say are hundreds of years old.  Our standard for Liturgy is the 1662 Anglican Book of Common Prayer (updated in modern English).  Below is a sample of our order of service: 

• Gathering Song
• Welcome/Collect for Purity/Collect of the Day
• Worship through Song
• Prayer and Dismissal of the Children
• Scripture Reading
• Sermon
• Nicene Creed
• Prayers of the People
• Corporate Confession of Sin
• Absolution
• The Peace
• Announcements
• The Offering
• Communion
• Blessing
• Sending Song
