Services

Morning worship typically includes singing, scripture, a message, an open response time, praying for needs, and a blessing. The Lord’s supper is usually served on the first Sunday of the month. There are frequently elements in the worship service that invite congregational participation, although people are free to be quiet, reflective participants as well.

Worship begins at 9:30 AM and usually lasts around 90 minutes.

Dress as you are comfortable. You’ll see some wearing shorts and sandals, others in colorful dresses or suits.

Our numbers vary with the seasons, with a smaller, more intimate feel during the summer months, then swelling as we are joined by our seasonal attendees during the winter.

Shalom is blessed with a very talented group of song leaders, musicians and an African choir. Music always plays a big part in the service. Much of our singing is done from Voices Together, our denominational hymnal, as well as Shalom Songs, our digital collection. We sing in different languages and styles including four-part harmony, international rhythms, and folk inspired melodies.

Worship is accessible in English, Swahili and Spanish with interpretation and hearing assistance available via heads sets.

The building and outdoor pavilion (fall 2024) are fully accessible.

Children of all ages are a welcome part of our worship services. There is a staffed nursery available for younger children when parents and children prefer that.
