people of faith - worshipping and ministering together
Our congregation welcomes you to worship no matter who you are...
Our congregation
welcomes you to worship no matter who you are, where you come from or
why you are here. We are Christ's people, and this is Christ's place
with its doors open wide. If you are passing through, Godspeed; if you
are looking for a home, stay here; if you need instruction, learn from
us
as we learn from you. We invite visitors to join us, but most of all,
to return often.
Worship is the central and most important act of the Christian community. In worship, we sing God's praise, listen for God's word, receive God's gifts in baptism and communion, and respond in the dedication of our lives with the confidence that God's Spirit equips us for ministry.
The congregation is led in worship by the pastors, laity, deacons and musicians. Kathwood follows the Christian calendar and we use the Revised Common Lectionary as the framework for our worship services.
Each Sunday morning, we gather at 11:00 am in the Sanctuary for the worship of God. Worship services are dialogues between the congregation and God. In scripture, sermon and silence we listen for the word of God; in prayers -- spoken and sung -- we respond.
