Worship

"… therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually--

the fruit of our lips giving thanks to God’s name."

Hebrews 13: 15

Throughout its existence, the people of Walnut Gardens have recognized that the congregation brings together a variety and diversity in its members. Those who plan our worship services realize that no single form of worship will entirely meet the needs of all our people.

The Worship Commission for Walnut Gardens incorporates congregational members of many ages and backgrounds. They bring a wealth of skills and perspectives to the responsibility of planning the worship services for each Sunday morning. This allows the congregation to celebrate a wide variety of worship forms throughout the liturgical year. Sermons, dramas, the music of gifted singers and musicians, testimonies, special sacraments, robust congregational singing and reading, sacred movement, exploration of the scriptures, even choirs--these are only some of the ways in which the people of the Walnut Gardens Congregation celebrate our relationship with God in Christ Jesus through our worship.

We invite you to join with us as we respond to the love of God, and bear witness to our Creator and to each other. Our services take place each Sunday morning at 11:00.
