What to know for your visit
When is worship?
During the school year, we offer two worship services:
- Our 9:00 a.m. Communion service is perfect for folk who prefer a quieter, more intimate and meditative worship style; we celebrate the Lord’s Supper every week.
- The 11:00 a.m. worship service is a larger, more energetic experience, including a choir. Children are an active part of the service, and child care is provided. This service is live-streamed on our YouTube channel.Between the two worship services, there is Sunday School for kids and youth and Adult Forum.After the 11:00 am service you are invited to a Coffee Hour offering great food and engaging conversation.During the summer, we offer one worship service at 10:00 a.m. each Sunday.
What does Sunday morning look like?
As a first-time visitor, the first thing you’ll notice is the warm greeting as you enter the building! A Welcome Ambassador will answer any questions you might have, and a greeter will hand you a bulletin, offer you a coffee mug festooned with Fair Trade chocolates, and suggest a comfortable place to sit. And then worship begins: Click here to learn more about Sundays at Harvard-Epworth.
