Sunday worship is the center of our life. Yet at the center is diversity in spirit and ways we worship God. Between the different services offered and numerous opportunities for both adults and children to participate and grow their faith, we strive for all to not just hear that they’re welcome, but to truly feel it, and to experience the grace of God.

7:00 PM — Contemplative Prayer in the Chapel

A weekly gathering on Sunday evenings for those who value silence, beauty and contemplation in prayer.  The  45-minute service includes prayers, poetry, scripture, chanting and 20 minutes of silent prayer. Led by members of the community, this service welcomes all who find their way to the chapel entrance on 42nd Street. Though our prayer includes silence, our leave-taking on Sunday evenings is often filled with conversation and laughter.
