Welcome: Worship

 

Worship at Eastminster Presbyterian Church

We meet in person with our services being broadcast via Facebook and YouTube at 10:00 am each Sunday.  “We provide virtual worship, pastoral care, opportunities for connection, and age-appropriate Faith Formation on   and   

 

According to the Book of Order of the Presbyterian Church: “Christian worship joyfully ascribes all praise and honor, glory and power to the triune God. In worship the people of God acknowledge God’s presence in the world and in their lives. As they respond to God’s claim and redemptive action in Jesus Christ, believers are transformed and renewed. In worship the faithful offer themselves to God and are equipped for God’s service in the world.”  

In the Presbyterian Church there are two Sacraments: Holy Communion and Baptism.  The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month during our regular worship service. The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on occasion during our Sunday morning worship service.

Music is one of the most important parts of Presbyterian worship and is the joint responsibility of the Pastor and Session. 

Special Services are held to celebrate the Christian Year. Liturgical banners remind us of our holy heritage.  The season of Lent, culminating in Holy Week services, reminds us of the sacrifice of Christ for our eternal life.

The Eastminster congregation worships in a multipurpose building which becomes “sacred space” during a time of worship. Liturgical banners remind us of our heritage.

Eastminster’s outdoor worship center is the site for special services, such as Easter Sunrise Service and Blessing of the Animals.
