2 - What's heavenly about your church?
The persistent feeling that something's happening here!

3 - How do people dress for service?
Comfortably, gents often wear suit and tie, but casual wear is welcome. God doesn't notice clothes.

4 - What happens after the service?
A din of conversation in the narthex, then many people come downstairs for coffee and more talk. Our church's elevator serves all three floors.

5 - What do you have for children and pre-teens?
They attend worship until Children's Time, whereupon they go out for programs in our Sunday School.

6 - What do you have for babies?
We have an enclosed room at the back of our sanctuary where parents can be with their infants while being able to see and hear what is happening on the opposite side of the glass.

7 - Can babies attend Sunday School?
Our tiniest ones and their parent(s) are welcome to use the enclosed room. Some parents opt to bring wee ones into the sanctuary and use the room should they become fussy or uncomfortable.

9 - What can I expect at the Sunday Service?
Bill's services are always exciting, challenging and fun. His sermons are thoughtful and typically relevant to current affairs or challenges to the faith community. Expect to sing, accompanied by an up to thirty voice mixed choir with jazz trained pianist Linda Fowler at our grand piano, all under the direction of acclaimed musician David Proznick. Expect laughter. Expect to be moved.

10 - What music is played during services?
Contemporary and traditional hymns from both Voices United and More Voices United, accompanied primarily by piano, often with drums and electric bass. Our organ is also put to good use on occasion. The words to our hymns are projected digitally onto a large screen, but hymnbooks are readily available for those who prefer to read music. We offer large print for those who need it .

11 - What do you have for newcomers and how do you help newcomers to make friends?
Our greeters attempt to identify newcomers and immediately direct them to the person staffing our Guest Register table. Newcomers are quickly spotted in the pews and the hands of fellowship are extended.
