Worship and Music

Worship matters in our church and lies at the heart of how we understand ourselves together.  The Worship and Music Ministry oversees all aspects of worship: texts, ceremony, music, liturgical orders, and the nuts-and-bolts of who does what.  

CRLC follows a three-year lectionary as the basis for hymn selections, prayers, confession texts, biblical lessons, etc.  We also follow the church calendar, observing the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.  

CRLC also has contemporary worship elements interspersed throughout the year with regularity, but not lumped into one service each week.   Several times a year we have “Ruah!”, a service planned with diverse elements that unite in a less-formal style to appeal to a variety of ages and people who are at different places on their journey as Christians.

Some opportunities in Worship and Music include but are not limited to:

Summer Worship Times

We worship on Sundays at 8am and 9:30am
from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
Sunday School will return again in the fall.

Calling all Acolytes
