Worship is the heart of our community life. Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m. in the sanctuary and online via Zoom. All ages are invited. LCC worship is a joyful celebration of God’s presence among us. We find inspiration, renewal, and refreshment through song and silence, prayer, and reflection. We seek to integrate the arts – music, drama, and visual – to enrich the worship experience. Worship continues in the many ways we seek, serve, and grow in the world.

We serve communion on the first Sunday of every month. All are welcome to the table!
