Worship

At the center of our church life is the weekly worship of God!  The church gathers to seek God together, to listen to God's voice through the Holy Scriptures, through preaching, through music, through the mutual faith of each other.  Worship at Shallowford seeks above all else to give God the glory. Our sanctuary enhances the senses to worship God with our whole being.  It is truly a holy place which evokes joy, reverence, and awe.  Music has been and always will be an integral part of worship here.  We have avoided using terms like "traditional" or "contemporary" or "blended" to describe our worship, but if you attended a worship service, you would likely observe aspects of all three.   

Worship, of course, not only takes place on Sunday mornings, but on different days times throughout the year.  Shallowford has special services for Healing and Wholeness, special Taize Prayer services (ordered after the Taize Community in France), and special seasonal services during Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, and Easter.  The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion) is celebrated every first Sunday of the month and at other special times during the Christian year.

The best way to experience worship at Shallowford is simply to join us and see for yourself, and we invite you to do just that!!
