“If you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going you own way…they you will find your joy in the Lord!” -Isaiah 58:13,14
At the heart of our activities is worship: the congregation affirming the inclusive love of God, made known through Jesus Christ. Worship is the best possible response to our Creator, Redeemer, Comforter and Guide. Worship is what sustains us as we walk on the Way of Jesus Christ.
As we give thanks to God for his faithfulness and steadfast love, we remember what God has done, and we realign our lives with God’s purposes. Worship refreshes us and equips us to reflect God’s love in our world. Sundays and other days, we gather together to sing, pray, fellowship and receive God’s Word for us. With God’s love in our midst, we seek to know God and make God known to others.
“Worship is the strategy by which we interrupt our preoccupation with ourselves and attend to the presence of God. Worship is the time and place that we assign for deliberate attentiveness to God—not because God’s confined to time and place but because our self-importance is so insidiously relentless that if we don’t deliberately interrupt ourselves regularly, we have no chance of attending to God at all at other times and in other places.
-Eugene Peterson, Leap Over A Wall
