Worship
Welcome to Worship at North Community Church!
Join us every Sunday morning for Worship at 10am
We believe in creating a vibrant and inclusive worship experience where all are welcomed with open arms. Our services are filled with uplifting music, heartfelt prayers, and inspiring sermons, creating a space where individuals can center their spirits and connect with the divine. We are a people of hope and we offer words to encourage us and to experience the goodness of God in our midst.
Music
Our choir is dedicated to providing soul-stirring music that uplifts and centers our spirits for worship. Additionally, we join together as a congregation to sing hymns from inclusive hymnals, fostering a sense of unity and community. Hymnals are conveniently located in racks in each pew, ensuring easy access for everyone.
Liturgy
During Worship we share responsive words and prayers, inviting everyone to participate according to their comfort level. Whether you prefer to read aloud with the congregation or quietly receive the words, you are welcome to engage in a manner that resonates with you.
Prayer
We believe in the power of prayer to bring comfort, healing, and hope. Each week, we begin our prayer time with an opportunity for individuals to share their joys and concerns. While participation is encouraged, it is entirely optional, and no one is required or expected to share. Following this time of sharing, our Pastor leads us in a guided prayer and meditation.
Communion
All are welcome to partake in communion regardless of age or membership status. We observe communion on the first Sunday of each month, and our tradition is to receive the elements where we are seated in the pews. Communion servers will bring the elements directly to you, allowing for a meaningful and inclusive experience for all.
Sermon
Rev. Andrew Ponder Williams’ sermons are crafted to uplift and inspire rather than judge. We are a community of hope, and our sermons aim to encourage us to experience the goodness of God in our midst. Through words of encouragement and empowerment, we strive to create an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and spiritual growth.
Sermons are made available via Rev. Andrew’s Pastoral Ponderings Podcast. Search for and follow Pastoral Ponderings on Spotify or visit our website Listening Library.
Children's Moment
We cherish the presence of children in our worship services and provide a special moment just for them each Sunday. During the Children’s Moment, children are invited to come forward for an engaging and interactive time together. Following this moment, children have the opportunity to participate in Sunday School, where they can further explore their faith in age-appropriate ways. On the first Sunday of each month there is no Children’s Moment, but the children come over from Sunday School to participate in communion towards the end of the service.
