Opportunities for Worship
Public worship is the most visible expression of the life of the
church in the world. Each Sunday the church gathers in services of
worship in which the people of God express their praise and
thanksgiving to God in prayer, song, offerings, reflection upon the
Word of God and the celebration of the sacraments. These services
of worship take place in our recently built, 600 seat sanctuary.
The services are led by both professional and lay leaders as they
call forth a rich array of talents from the people of God for the
glory of God.
Opportunities for worship are as follows: (note: a staffed
crib-room and nursery is provided during all services of worship).
-
8:00 a.m. Sunday Worship: For a more casual and intimate
worship experience, duplicate of the 10:30 service minus the
“Children’s Moment with the pastor.”
-
10:30 a.m. Sunday Worship: Traditional worship for
children and adults, including “Children’s Moment
with the Pastor” and occasional extra music and drama.

in an alternate style, non-traditional, more up-tempo music,

services of worship on the first Sunday of each month and on

Worship Support Ministries: NLPC is always in need of
volunteers for our services of worship to serve in the following
areas:
ushers, greeters, sound-booth helpers, liturgists (lay
readers)
, and
communion preparation and clean-up. If you are interested in
volunteering your help in any of these areas, please express your
interest to either of the worship elders, the pastors, or use the
volunteer

Thanks!
