Sunday morning is a great time to meet the people of Lafayette. We gather at 10am to worship, pray, and explore scripture together.
Our celebrations of worship tend to follow traditional patterns, but in an informal way. Some people wear ties, but other people dress casually. We do our best to make our worship accessible to anyone who has never gone to church before. If you decide to come, it won’t be hard to understand what’s happening. You will be invited to participate, but you can also just watch if you want.
There is a monthly rhythm to our worship, too. We normally celebrate the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month. New members are received and people are baptized on the second Sundays of the month. On the third Sunday, we have prayers for wholeness. Finally, on the fourth Sunday of the month, our worship features some extra instruments and is a little more upbeat.
After we worship, we like to spend time drinking coffee and eating a snack together. This is a great time to talk to the people of Lafayette. It’s also the cheapest brunch on Elmwood!
Then, some of us remain for a time of Education. Adults are invited to go deeper into the Bible in a discussion led by our Pastor, Drew. Kids have special classes that usually involve a story, a craft, and a game.
If you have kids, please feel free to bring them to worship. We have a special program for them (led by people who have been trained and checked, of course!), or they can stay with you.
We also gather in smaller groups: contact us if you are interested in being a part of a Bible Study, our Choir, Presbyterian Women, Youth Group, or Boys Brigade. Maybe you would like to join us as we volunteer at Loaves and Fishes, a feeding ministry, or be a part of our Vacation Bible School. Let us know what kind of gathering you seek, and we will do what we can to find the right group for you.
