Worship is best understood as what we each (and all) do to live our faith in thought, word and deed in our lives every day.   Yet, it's also shorthand for the gathering of Christians for a weekly time of communal worship.

Daily: CCC encourages one another to be in prayer, Scripture and community daily.  In our homes and work places, we are always God's children.

Sundays: Each Sunday morning at 11 am (9:30 am in the summer), we gather for a time of communal worship.  Our service is best described as traditional, yet that is too narrow to fully appreciate it.   We use an organ as our central musical instrument. Our clergy vest in albs with stoles and cinctures.  We read and hear a lot of Scripture from the Revised Common Lectionary.  Our pastors preach Bible-based sermons from the daily lectionary to inspire and teach.   We have a choir who vest and lead in worship from a loft on the chancel, and a bell choir who lead once per month.   Our worship is carefully constructed as liturgy (which means "work of the people") to remind, convict, inspire, and transform us all.  THREE WORSHIP INNOVATIONS FOR AUTUMN 2010:

1. A broader set of  musical offerings as we glorify God, including a regular time of congregational singing beginning starting at 10:45am each week
2. a more flexible liturgy with elements moving, being added, or left out periodically, and
3. Family Worship each third Sunday of the month.  We’ll cancel childcare and involve the children in our regular worship life.

Nightpraise: Once per month, we hold an evening worship service which began as an experiment many years ago as an alternate style (or metaphor) of worship.  This service is led by a band playing electrified instruments.  They lead singing from projections and the music is recent praise music. Nightpraise utilizes video as well as text projections to evoke a different environment than Sunday mornings.
