We worship together as one people, beloved and called by God to do God’s work in the world. Our sermons are based on the Bible and rich traditions of Reformed theology. Our worship has an informal feel and though we are serious, laughter often breaks out and our congregation is filled with joy.
We welcome the whole family to worship together, including babies and small children. We also provide optional adult supervision for little ones during regular worship services.
As of September 12, 2021, we resume worship at 10 a.m. ET. On September 19, we resume early service at 8:15 a.m. During the summer months, HRC has only one service at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday.
The church may look a little different to you as we follow the guidance of the CDC and public health agencies. Our social distancing and prevention guidelines are outlined below:
- Masks are recommended for those not vaccinated and for children under twelve years of age.
- There is no social distancing required in the center pews, but the side pews are for worshippers needing or wanting to practice social distancing.
- While singing, please wear a mask. This is advised for all worshippers in our pews and for our choir. We continue to follow the recommendations put forth by several ecclesiastical singing organizations, ecumenical groups, and Westminster Choir College.
- Offering plates will be placed in the back of the church instead of being passed. Offerings can also be made through Tithe.ly.
- Everyone will remain in their pew for the passing of the peace. Alternatives include offering a friendly wave or bowing with your hands clasped as if in prayer.
- Holy Communion will be from the table in the front with individual elements. Please proceed down the side aisles and return to your pew up the middle aisle.
- Bathrooms are open. Please properly wash hands and use sanitizing wipes on surfaces after each use.
- Please stay home if you are not feeling well for any reason.
For those who prefer to stay home at this time, you also have the option to join our weekly worship services virtually as they are held virtually through Facebook Live every Sunday morning.
Parking
We have street parking and a small parking lot adjacent to the church. We are handicap accessible.
Attire
We invite you to come as you are since most of our members dress in informal attire to attend weekly services.
