Worship with Us
Welcome to Vine Congregational
United Church of Christ
Our doors are open to you, and so are our hearts. All who enter are welcome to share in worship and fellowship.
God is at work in this place, through meaningful worship, warm fellowship, and genuine acceptance. Vine offers opportunities to study and serve, to build faith and friendships.
What to expect
We gather to worship every Sunday morning at 10:30 am. Our typical worship service lasts about an hour. A bulletin is provided with an order of service so that you may follow along and participate in all the elements of our worship service. During the service, we pray, sing, share moments of silent meditation, and hear scripture.
Vine offers a traditional service that incorporates hymns from the New Century Hymnal. The choir is led by our Chancel Choir Director and our organist provides the prelude and postlude each week. Our service periodically includes music our Joyful Noise Handbell Choir.
We welcome participation by all in the worship service; there are opportunities to be scripture readers, ushers, communion servers, music/poetry, and greeters.
