orship services are conducted from September through June at 10:30 AM. Children attend the beginning of each service.
The service consists of organ preludes and postludes and various organ and piano pieces; hymn singing; readings from religious and philosophical texts, literature, and social commentary; a sermon; and announcements.
    One Sunday of each month the congregation shares its joys and concerns while placing flowers in a special vase.
    On three Sundays each month the services are led by the Minister, Richard Stower. On one Sunday per month the service is led by either a lay person or a visiting minister or speaker.
    These services generally follows the format noted above with a guest speaker, although they may have a form of their own.
    Periodically children take a more extensive role in the service by performing plays or doing readings. We have several inter-generational services throughout the year: Water Ceremony, Apple Communion, Christmas Pageant, Easter, Earth Day, and Youth Sunday. Nursery care is available during the service. A coffee and fellowship hour follows the service in the Old Sloop Room.
