Upcoming Services – Sunday, February 16th, 2020:
Each service is followed by The Common Meal, served at 6:30 PM.
All are welcome to join us for worship and a delicious home-cooked meal!
The Common Worship Experience is a “kid-led, pastor approved” worship service one Sunday a quarter at 5:00 p.m. Worship is youth-oriented and family-friendly; our Youth Leadership Team joins Rev. Christopher Holland and the house band in leading worship. We welcome you as you are — wiggles, giggles, and joyful noises included!
As a ministry of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), we are Presbyterian in practice, but diverse in our worship style. With leaders who have experienced many ways of worshipping, we value the common threads that connect us as Christians – namely: we love God, we love one another, and we follow Jesus Christ in all we do through the power of the Holy Spirit. At The Common Place, we seek to be a Spirit-led and spirit-filled worshipping community that walks with you on the journey of faith.
What can I expect in worship?
At The Common Place, we believe that worship is not a spectator sport. “What does that mean?”, you ask. We pray – sometimes together, sometimes as call and response. We Sing. We read Scripture. One of the pastors offers a message, and we celebrate Communion (the Lord’s Supper). You are invited to participate in worship through song and silence, prayer and praise, fellowship and feast. Come as you are, and know that you are welcome at The Common Place.
Tell me about communion…
Just like the early church, we also gather around tables. We sit at tables every day. Maybe it’s the kitchen table, where you sit with family to drink coffee each morning. Maybe it’s a lunchroom table where you sit with friends to talk about what’s going on in your life. Tables are the site of some of our best conversations and our biggest celebrations. It’s the same with the Lord’s table. Here we join sisters and brothers in faith in the feast that Christ prepares for us. It’s a chance to gather as one diverse body to be fed, nourished, and strengthened so we can live as God intended.
Communion reminds us that sitting together at the table is a holy experience. At The Common Place, the feast continues after worship as we gather for the Common Meal. This meal is free and open to all. Please join us!
How’s the music?
The house band leads us in song. The music is soulful, uplifting, and reflective. We project words on the screen, so you can sing along with us or just close your eyes and let the Spirit move you. We hope you feel the freedom to worship God through singing and silence, through joyful noise and peaceful praise.
