In-Person Worship Has Resumed

We are excited to welcome the community back into our building for in-person worship. To protect members, friends, and guests during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have adopted these measures:

• Seating in the sanctuary is marked to support physical distancing; please only sit next to those in your household.
• Everyone must wear a mask at all times inside the building, regardless of vaccination status; extra masks are available at the door.
• Hand sanitizer is available throughout the building.
• Collection plates and communion elements will not be passed from hand to hand.
• Coffee hour is suspended for the time being. 
• As with all other activities, if you feel unwell, please stay home and join the service over Zoom.

We realize that for some in our community, church is more accessible to them in their homes, and we welcome you to continue joining us on Zoom. We are streaming the service live over Zoom and also sharing a recording of the service later.

As with anything new, this will involve learning and adjustments as we get used to a hybrid worship format. We we ask your patience, grace, and sense of humor in the process. Your feedback is welcomed and encouraged, both those joining us from home and those who are in the sanctuary, so that we know where to make improvements as we move forward.

Our Sunday School program for children and youth is also meeting again in-person. We understand that some families may not feel comfortable returning in-person with children who are not able to be vaccinated against Covid-19.

Sunday worship is streamed live via Zoom; please join us with the link below.

You can view a recent worship service below; here are links to previous recordings.

Singing the Matthew 25 Vision

Our congregation has accepted the invitation of Matthew 25:31-46 to be the hands and feet of Jesus, serving people who are hungry, oppressed, imprisoned or poor. That vision has been set to music in a new hymn, “Jesus Be With Us,” with text and tune by the Rev. Dr. David Gambrell, associate for worship in the PCUSA Office of Theology and Worship, and singing and musical arrangement by Phillip Morgan, director of music at Central Presbyterian Church in Louisville, Kentucky.

The author/composer and arranger/performer grant permission for use of the hymn and recording in worship, online or otherwise. For other uses, please consult the copyright holders.

Peacemaking Offering

We collected the Presbyterian Peacemaking offering on World Communion Sunday, October 10 but there is still time to donate. This is one of four church-wide offerings collected throughout the year. Click or tap on the image above to learn more about the ministries supported by this offering. A 25% share of the offering is retained for the use of local churches. Our share at the Presbyterian Church in Burlington will be used to support the peacemaking ministry of the Rev. Nta William Nche in Cameroon, where several of our church members have roots and connections. To donate, use the “Donate” link in the menu at the top of the page or the button below. Select “Special Offerings PC(USA)”; there will be a dialog box labeled “Notes” at the end of the donation process that allows you to enter in the box that your donation is for the “Peacemaking Offering.”

“May the God of Peace … grant you peace at all times in all ways.”

2 Thessalonians 3:16
