Music can be especially diverse, with a variety of instruments being heard and a range of musical influences and styles. Classical and traditional “church music” is augmented by popular music, spirituals, chants, etc.
Different Kinds of Worship
There are also different kinds of worship. Approximately 3-4 times a year there are intergenerational worship services where the children and youth stay for the whole service and we explore themes and stories that span the generational spectrum. Several times a year we have music services where the choir and a variety of ensembles and soloists are highlighted to convey a worshipful theme.
When the whole congregation or a group within the church gathers for any reason, there are elements of ritual, such as a chalice lighting and a closing blessing, to remind ourselves that we are in a special, holy place and a covenanted community.
Church du Soleil:
Sunset Worship Designed for Gens XYZ / Millennialish
If your idea of worship is watching the sky melt into twilight, letting the music carry you away, and finding connection in stories and silence, come find your people. We’ll do our best to keep it real and just the right amount of weird.
Need some inspiration, a place to recharge, or just somewhere different to be on Saturday night? Come for the sunset, stay for the community—after the sun sets we’ll linger over drinks, games & crafts.
