Worship

 Catch up with your old friends and strive to make new ones each Sunday morning at worship at Deerhurst.  Is this the year you join a group or a committee to stretch your connections, both within yourself and within your church family?  Think about the many opportunities at Deerhurst and be sure you are part of the fun and fellowship!

Worship begins at ten o’clock each Sunday morning. Enjoy the beautiful piano, organ and choir music.  Sing those hymns with gusto.  Don’t hold back.  The people in the pew in front of you don’t mind some off-key notes.  Really.  Smile supportively at the possibly-nervous lay reader (and if you think you might like to take a turn at that job, contact the Church office).  Listen to Pastor Micah’s thought-provoking and uplifting sermon with an open heart filled with God’s presence.  Pray.  Pray often and pray hard.  Use the sanctity of the sanctuary to form your thoughts and pray purposefully.  Think of this time of worship as a grounding point for your days ahead. 

Coffee hour follows worship downstairs in Memorial Hall.  Find out what’s been going on with your friends, introduce yourself to someone you don’t yet know, sign up for events, buy candy bars or popcorn from those pesky kids, ask the pastor questions about what you listened to upstairs (it keeps him on his toes!) and drink the delicious coffee or tea provided by our Deacons.  Surely our “worship” is extended to this time as we confirm our connections in God’s house.
