Sunday Worship
Weekly on Sunday at 10:30 AM
At 10.30 a.m. we worship in the sanctuary, which has wooden pews, beautiful stained glass, and both a main level and balcony. Our service is a blend of traditional and contemporary, with sharing of good news, singing, prayer, scripture, a sermon, and communion. Our service is live streamed every week on our Facebook page and on You Tube.
Serving in Worship-Because the Disciples of Christ denomination recognizes the value of non-clergy persons serving alongside clergy, there are many opportunities to serve in our worship service.
- Elders and members of the diaconate assist with offering and communion.
- Lectors read prayers and scripture.
- Children light candles, pick up used communion cups, help greeters, and sometimes help adults collect offering and serve communion.
- Greeters welcome all who enter our doors.
- Music in Worship- Music is an important part of worship at GOCC, and that music takes many forms…
- Our adult choir sings several times in a year and is always looking for new voices!
- Individuals with vocal and/or instrumental gifts share their talents throughout the year as “Special Music”
- The beautiful sound of our handbell choir enhance worship at special times throughout the year.
- Our weekly musicians include song leaders, pianist, organist and bass guitarist.
- Beginning at 10:15 a.m. in the sanctuary, contemporary worship music is played in the sanctuary; feel free to sing along, pray, reflect or greet your neighbor.
- At 10:30, our service begins with a couple of non-traditional “Gathering Songs”.
