Worshipping at Edwards Church

Join us in person or on live-stream every Sunday at 10 am. For live-stream, click here.

On Sundays, we praise God for the wondrous gifts we have been given. We sing with joy and listen to the word of God to understand what it means in our daily lives. Our creative gifts– music, drama, art, stories, and poetry–are shared to inspire and uplift us. Once a month we serve Communion, which is open to everyone of all ages and backgrounds.

In Worship most Sundays, before children go to Christian Explorers, there is a special message for the Young People. Our children join us again for the end of worship. On the first Sunday of each month, young people remain in the sanctuary, with a special message, a craft in our Tent of Meeting, then sharing in Holy Communion with their families.

For very young children, we have small activity packs with crayons, located as you enter the Sanctuary.

We have periodic special worship services including an outdoor service, jazz and poetry themes, special music at Christmas and Easter, and periodic combined services with Plymouth Church.

We hope you will join us!
