Worship Commission

The Worship Commission is responsible for providing an
inspiring worship experience for all who pass through our church
doors. To achieve this goal the responsibilities for preparing for
the services are divided among the members of the Commission.

The Music Program consists of adult Temple Choir, and the
children's Jubilee Choir. These groups contribute to our music
program at least once a month. Periodically, other instrumental
and vocal soloists, ensembles, and the Mulberry Brass quintet
minister to us with their special musical gifts during regular and
special worship events.  

In September of 2005 we began offering two worship services - a
contemporary service at 8:30 am and a more traditional service
at 11:00 AM. The Contemporary Service is less formal with music
consisting of praise songs, drama, scripture, prayer, a message
by the Pastor, sharing of joys and concerns, an offering, and a
final blessing. This service is led by a worship team composed
of members of our congregation. We are currently in the process
of trying to make this more of a mission and outreach ministry
rather than just an alternative worship time, and a number of
ideas are being considered.

Both services are planned around the same theme and scripture
chosen by Pastor Ed. Our goal is to give the congregation a
different approach for worshipping as well as providing an
opportunity for those who may not feel comfortable in the more
formal setting at 11:00am. We welcome people of all ages to
participate. Please invite inactive members and friends to come
and worship with us at the time of their choice.

The Worship Commission welcomes any suggestions - either
problems or compliments - that you would like to express.
Please write them on one of the pew cards, sign it, and place it in
the offering plate. By communicating and working together we
will be able to accomplish our mission as a congregation and
make the church more like Jesus envisioned it.
