Sunday Morning Worship
All are welcome to join us for Sunday morning worship at 10 AM in our breathtaking sanctuary, illuminated with natural light through skylight and stained glass windows and filled with the melodious sounds of our 2800 pipe organ. Our sanctuary’s 1875 Victorian walnut interior may feel old fashioned, but our thinking about issues of contemporary life is not. We are inspired by our abolitionist roots and continue to care for each other and our community with the same soul fire and action as they did.
Text of sermons preached by The Rev. J. Gary Brinn, Pastor and Teacher of The Park Church unless otherwise specified. Scripture readings reference the Common English Bible.
Unable to attend the in-person worship? You can join live via Zoom (most services).
