NorthPark Presbyterian Church offers two different worship services on Sunday mornings throughout the year. We hope you will join us for worship as either a visitor or member and we look forward to having you become an active participant in our activities.
The 8:30 a.m. worship service is about 50 minutes in length, and tends to be less formal than the 11:00 a.m. service. Special music for this service is most often provided by soloists. The same sermon is preached at both services. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper (Communion) is served every Sunday at the 8:30 a.m. service by intinction. The exception is that six times a year, on the first Sunday of the odd numbered months, instead of Communion during the 8:30 a.m. service, we include the Liturgy for Wholeness as a part of the worship service. This liturgy includes special prayers and anointing with oil for those who so desire.
The 11:00 a.m. worship service is our more traditional service and includes a full compliment of choral music. Communion is served about ten times per year at the 11:00 a.m. service, most often on the feast days of the Church. Baptism is celebrated upon request and upon the approval of the Session. The 11:00 a.m. worship service most often includes "Moments with Children," which is a special time for children during the worship.
Children are encouraged to attend worship service, either in the full service at 8:30 a.m. or for the first part of the 11:00 a.m. worship service, after which they are dismissed to a special class
