Our Pattern

In order to live fully into our ministry of worship, hospitality and sabbath, we do things a little differently with our weekend worship times. You can always check our calendar for the latest info, but in general, here’s the pattern:

1st & 3rd Weekends
SUNDAYS – 10:00 AM

2nd & 4th Weekends
SATURDAYS – 5:00 PM
No Sunday Service – Sabbath Sundays

5th Weekends
SUNDAYS, times vary
Gatherings of Sharing & Community
Our 5th Weekends worship varies.  Specific activities and type of gathering is planned a month ahead of time.
Often it's "Waffle Worship" from 9-11 am Sundays, building the beloved community through prayer and play, and waffles, (with a potluck of toppings).

How are these gatherings different?

On 1st & 3rd weekends we worship on Sunday morning in a communal service that usually involves hymns, a sermon, group prayer, and communion.  

On 2nd & 4th weekends the same text and message of the week is encountered in a more personal and contemplative way, with interactive prayer stations, silence, ambient music, and space for individual reflection.
 
​The services complement each other, and children are welcome and involved in each service.

2nd and 4th weekends we take Sundays as Sabbath days - they are for rest and play, being instead of doing, connecting with God and others, and embracing the world with awareness and gratitude.

Whenever there is a 5th weekend, we worship in a special way that builds community.

To find out more about why we do this, see About Us.  You can also find more in-depth discussion of our Sabbath practice, Children in worship and ArtSpace in the articles and clips under Stories from LNPC.
