Our regular Sunday morning services at Esquimalt United are central to the work of our congregation and give a rhythm to the life of our community. Singing and praying, listening and learning, reflecting and keeping silence help us to connect more deeply with our Creator, and with one another. The different themes explored each week are usually determined by the season of the church year, and by local and world events. On some Sundays one of our lay leadership teams is responsible for the entire service. Covid has motivated us to make the service available over Zoom. Cl;ick this link in order to join in!
Long before the 10.30 am service, the church is already filled with activity! In the Family Room at the back of the sanctuary the Connections group gathers at 9.30 am to learn, share and ponder issues of faith. In the sanctuary the choir and musicians gather at 9.45 am to prepare to lead the singing.
At present children usually remain in worship with their families; there is a soundproof family room if they are restless, and from where their caregivers can see and hear the service. There are also tables and creative materials available in the back corner of the sanctuary for those who wish.
Our service ends around 11.40 am, and coffee, tea, and juice are served in the lower hall immediately afterwards. Everyone is welcome to stay for refreshments and conversation; it's a time to chat with old friends and make new ones.
