Opportunities for Holy Communion

We will hold short, intimate in-person communion services in the church on two Wednesdays coming up, and we will also once again have our online worship feature Holy Communion at Home soon.

Visit our Communion page here for all the details.

Worship With Us LIVE Online @ 9

The worship team and A/V team worked together to develop a brand new 30 minute LIVE stream worship each Sunday at 9 a.m.  featuring scripture, a contextual sermon, live music, and up-to-the-minute prayers.  After the service you can visit the “virtual narthex” to chat with our pastors (just eat your own donut holes at home).  We begin live streaming at 8:45 a.m. Sunday.  You can join us here: Link to Online Worship

Outdoor Worship at Indian Creek

We had a great outdoor worship on June 28, and we have two more to come! The outdoor services give us greater freedom to gather and worship. We will continue to offer weekly worship online at 9 a.m., so you can enjoy the message and music at home; but we have two more outdoor services planned at Indian Creek Nature Center, 5300 Otis Rd SE Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.

• Sunday, July 19 at 9:30 a.m.
  
• Sunday, August 2 at 9:30 a.m.
  

We will conduct these services in a way that provides appropriate safety for all participants. • We will meet in the large patio/grass area by the building. • Bring a lawn chair, a mask, and sit at a social distance of six feet.
Wear a hat and sunscreen for sun protection.• Bring bug spray to keep the bugs away.

Pray with Us Daily

We encourage our entire congregation to begin daily “Prayer on the 9s” today: pausing twice a day at 9 a.m. & 9 p.m. to pray for our church, our community and our world while we get through this crisis together. You don’t have to log on to anything or go anywhere specific. Wherever you are please pause and say a quick prayer for God to be present with us.  Each day at 9 & 9 we will post a suggested “prayer prompt” on our Facebook page you can use to guide your prayer.

Worship Over the Airwaves

We expect a great deal many new listeners to our 30 minute radio worship service of beautiful music and a contextual message broadcast at 8:30 am every Sunday on KMRY Radio at 93.1 FM and 1450 AM.
