​​Worship most of the year begins at 11:00 a.m. with Christian Education at 9:30, with childcare available throughout the morning. For summertime worship at 10:00 a.m., children should sit with their families. There is no Christian Education program during summer.

​

Note that services are being recorded for later broadcast or for livestreaming. Cameras are pointed only at the front of the church. If you do not wish to be seen during the service, sit behind the camera positions (or in the balcony).

​

Worship services follow a traditional and familiar format, but you'll find that the experience is refreshingly new. Expect thought-provoking sermons, a joyous "passing of the peace," time for prayer and contemplation, and vibrant music (including robust singing of hymns). Stay through the organ postlude and join us for fellowship at the front of the sanctuary. 

​

Children & Youth are welcome during worship. If you or your young child needs a break, professional child care staff are available for ages 0-6 years in the nursery from 9:15 am-12:15 pm. From the sanctuary, use the door on the left (by the pulpit) and head to the nursery at the end of the hall.

 

Parking is available on Sunday morning in the Wilmington Club lot located on Orange Street between 11th and 12th Streets. Park as others park, but not along the guardrail on the side nearest the church. 

 

Enter through one of four doors. The Market Street doors give you the grand entrance to the sanctuary. From 11th Street you may use the main side entrance or go through our little garden past the Chapel entrance to the accessible side door. Or use our new covered entrance (at the church's back corner) adjacent to the parking lot above; the sanctuary will be down the hallway on your left.  Handicap access is available on 11th Street either using the main side entrance (elevator) or ramp outdoors.  

​

Wear what is comfortable to you! You will find everything from flip flops and jeans to suits and dresses. All are welcome as we gather to worship God.

 

Communion is usually served by intinction, meaning you receive a piece of bread and dip it into the cup. For bread, there are gluten- and egg-free wafers along with regular bread; the “wine” is non-alcoholic grape juice. If you wish to be served in your seat an usher will come to you; these serving trays also include some cups of water if grape juice is not suitable.

 

Fellowship time takes place at the front of the sanctuary following worship, with coffee, tea, lemonade, and frequently home-baked treats. Please join in and chat with other members and guests. Members and frequent visitors should be wearing name tags; if you wish to wear one, there is a table at the back entrance (see parking) where you can create a temporary tag or request a printed one.
