Worship and Learn
FCCW is a faith community that seeks to be accessible to all, from the front door to the communion table. No matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
Worship is our most elemental and formative work, renewing us, challenging us and creating space for the rituals that mark the seasons of our lives. Coming together on Sundays is about the desire to be together, not a demand to believe correctly. We lift one another up in joys and sorrows through prayer and fellowship.
Sunday service begins at 10:00 a.m. and lasts about an hour. If you are unable to attend in person, we invite you to join us on our live-stream . FCCW offers open communion the first Sunday of each month. ALL are welcome at the table.
Special services throughout the year:
-
- Advent, Christmas Eve services
- Hanging of the Greens (coming together to decorate the sanctuary and building for the season of Advent)
- Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Easter
- All Saints Remembrance
- Interfaith Blessing of the Animals
- Pentecost
Children are encouraged to join their parents in the pews. An usher is happy to provide an activity bag to help keep kids engaged. We can also provide childcare in the Creation Room from 9:50 – 11:00 if you let our church administrator know by Friday at 3:00 prior to Sunday service.
Please contact us here to request childcare and you will receive a confirmation from us. Be sure to include your specific request in the contact form.
Volunteer Liturgists
We invite congregational members to serve as volunteer liturgists during worship. These liturgists may read scripture, lead the call to worship, lead prayer, or assist the pastor in other ways during Sunday worship.
Opportunities for Spiritual Enrichment
In addition to weekly worship, our goal is to provide more personal ways to continue exploring the history of our faith and how we can make that relevant to some of today’s most challenging societal questions. This is typically done in smaller group settings and often created as an Advent or Lenten special study series.
Occasionally, we will also try to explore issues surrounding faith that have caught the public’s attention in an especially notable way. In the last year, for example, we offered an evening talking about the rise in Christian Nationalism and how that fits into the larger fabric of Christianity. We have also enjoyed partnering with other faith traditions, such as our neighbor Congregation Sukkot Shalom, to participate in ecumenical activities.
Special services throughout the year have included:
-
- Wisdom walks in nature
- Sound bath meditation
- Women’s retreat
