When You Arrive

 

When you arrive you can enter the Sanctuary either from entrance facing Church Street, or the side entrance where you will see the ramp.

At each entrance, orders of service will be available from our usher/greeters. Please fill out a name tag so we can get to know you – if you are a relative newcomer, please use a name tag with a blue border.

Just inside the back of the Sanctuary, there is a small table behind the last pew with a book for those attending the service to write down any Joys or Sorrows that they may have. These will be read out loud during the service, so please use discretion regarding private and personal matters.

If you have very young children, feel free to take advantage of our nursery in the basement, near the library, if you wish. Pre-school and school-age children typically stay in the sanctuary with their parents/guardians for about the first 15 minutes of the service, after which they go downstairs for their Religious Education programming. If your children are visiting the RE program, please complete a visitor’s form – they are available at the welcome table when you enter the Sanctuary.

After the service, please feel free to join us in the parlor for some socializing. There will be someone from the Membership Committee at the information table in the parlor to answer your questions. The services end 15 minutes before the end of RE programming – so parents/guardians can enjoy a cup of coffee and some socializing before picking their children up from their religious education class.
