West Park United Church of Christ

This is an example of the Order of Our Worship service on any given Sunday.  This description is what our worship follows in general and does not necessarily reflect anything that may specifically occur during a particular service.  A printed bulletin is given to each participant in worship by the attending ushers and greeters.  The bulletin will give the specific order of worship for that morning with all of the responses and congregational prayers printed.   Any questions should be directed to Pastor Craig during office hours in the church office (See Sidebar). 

The United Church of Christ practices Open Communion.  Anyone called to God's Table is Welcome to partake of the Sacrament when it is offered during any service.  If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Craig during office hours through the church office

No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome in this United Church of Christ Congregation- where God is still speaking. After this, Pastor calls the congregation to worship.

The first sound of the organ is God's call, for we who are the gathered church/faith community, to approach God in respectful preparatory silence.  This quiet time personally makes ready our minds and prepares our spirits to honor  God in worship, that we shall become adequately equipped to live faithfully and meaningfully the mission and ministry of God's call upon our lives, in the community of the world where we live, work and play. 

- We offer Praise to God in worship through music and song.

- Hearing and engaging God's word in scripture, prayer and message.

- Responding to God's word by re-entering the world from which we have come to live out and serve God in our mission and ministry.
