Worship at Pembina Parish
Attending a church for the first time can be intimidating so here’s a bit of what you can expect when attending worship at St. Pauls or Zion-Calvin.
Our parish has two Sunday morning worship services: 9:30am at Zion-Calvin and 11:00am at St. Paul’s. You’ll hear the church bells ring out in Darlingford prior to the service.
In our worship we seek to be inclusive and respectful as well as curious about one another, the Bible, and how God is calling us to live as followers of Jesus in the world. In worship we:
Gather through the lighting of a Christ candle (Christ’s light with us) and a rainbow candle (a symbol of God’s inclusive love), the speaking of a land acknowledgement, a call to worship, prayer, and music.
Explore the Word of God through the reading of scripture, a storytime or exploration of our theme that engages people of all ages, a message that draws us into the story and the story into our own lives.
Respond to what we have seen and heard in worship and in our own lives through music, monthly celebration of communion and God’s inclusive welcome to the table (including children!), prayer, and other activities.
Bless and send one another into the world to live as God’s beloved, following in Jesus’ footsteps, encouraged and uplifted by the Spirit.
Worship at both congregations is primarily led by the minister and at St. Paul’s is supported by a different House Group each month. House Group members participate in setting up, greeting, announcements, scripture reading, preparation and serving of communion, gathering offerings, and whatever needs doing! We are also fortunate to have a talented Choir Director, gifted Pianists and singers to support our worship.
