ORC Groups
Christian EducationClasses for 3-year-olds through adults are held Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m., except for July and August. The youngest children learn Bible stories through play activities while the elementary children learn through activities gauged for their learning abilities. The youth and adults hold discussion groups that include contemporary issues as they are related to Bible teaching. The children also enjoy participating in dramas that are presented to the congregation with songs, acting and costumes.
Wednesday morning Bible study groups engage in more in-depth Bible study and discussion. Call for specific times and dates.
During the season of Lent, special programs are held on Wednesday night to deepen our faith journey and prepare for the joy of Easter day.
Choir/MusicJoyce R. Pound directs and accompanies a choir of adult singers who provide music for Sunday worship services and seasonal services from September through June. This organization is comprised of volunteer singers with little or no previous musical experience as well as those who have a more extensive music education. The group of about 15 people sings a variety of music styles from classic to contemporary. Singers of any age and ability are invited to attend rehearsals in the choir loft on Tuesday at 7 p.m. and sing with the group. All the music is enlarged for those with vision difficulties and the choir loft is wheelchair accessible.
The church has a two-manual Allen organ console which is to the standards of The American Guild of Organists. This organ provides accompaniment for congregational singing and music for other parts of the worship service.
In keeping with the historic nature of this church, the decorative parts of an old hand-pumped pipe organ provide, in the balcony, a façade for the main speaker of the electronic organ.
The Women’s GuildThe Women’s Guild is a fellowship of church women who come together each month to work on missions, fundraisers, projects to improve our facilities and help those in need. We work together to feed our spiritual needs through programs and retreats. Our Women’s Guild invites women of all ages to join us as we serve our Lord together. Meetings are held on the third Thursday evening of the month except during the summer.Outreach ProgramsThese programs promote participation in community and global outreach, both financially and spiritually.
