Worship Services
​
-
Sunday Worship is "relaxed traditional" and includes hymns, scripture readings, and teaching time based on the Revised Common Lectionary. The 45-minute service is held in our spacious Sanctuary. Holy Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of each month and on liturgically significant days.
-
Combined Mid-Week Services are held each Wednesday during Lent alternating between St. John's and St. Mark's UCC, Cressona. The informal 40-minute service includes singing, prayers, and a brief message.
-
The Mite Family Room is located at the rear of the Sanctuary for those with young children or anyone having difficulty sitting for an extended period of time.
-
Online Services are available through our website, Facebook page, and YouTube for those who prefer to worship virtually.
