A Few Notes about Worship

We Gather in God’s Name
The service starts with a call to worship and a hymn of praise. Singing together unites our voices and turns our hearts to God. We are blessed with a wonderful choir led by our Organist/Choir Master. 

We acknowledge our brokenness and pain. Each week we “confess our sin,” not because we are especially bad, but because it’s part of being honest with God, each other and ourselves. We say this confession together, recognizing that we are asking for forgiveness not only for ourselves but for everyone.  Jesus tells us that if we confess our sin, we will be forgiven. After the prayer of confession comes a joyful assurance that we truly are forgiven. We sing in praise because we are forgiven.

We pass the Peace of Christ. As forgiven people we are at peace. We share that peace with all who are present.We honor our children and have a special time and story for them in worship.  During the school year, the children then leave for Sunday school. In the summertime, they go back to sit with their families. 

We Share and Proclaim God’s Word
The reading of Scripture is an integral part of our Sunday worship.  Our pastor prepares the sermon based upon the designated Scripture. Sometimes we read the Scripture responsively, meaning that the worship leader reads one line and we read the next.  Hymns are chosen also to reflect the readings. We pray to God that we will hear His word in Scripture and sermon.

We Give Thanks to God
We pray for the needs of others, ourselves and the world. We share our joys and concerns and are led in prayer.  We believe God draws near to us, hears us and answers us.

We offer to God our gifts of song, prayer, service and money.  These are ways to say thank you and to share what we have. 

Presbyterians have two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion). We believe that God’s love comes to us in these sacraments, even when we don’t know it or feel it. We baptize someone into the family of God either as a child or as an adult. 

In the Lord’s Supper, we believe God feeds us with bread and with Spirit, which strengthen us to work with God in the world. Everyone who seeks the love of Jesus Christ is welcome to participate, including children.  We serve communion to you in the pews, offering bread and a gluten-free alternative and juice instead of wine. We receive it all together. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month and on other special days like Christmas Eve and Easter.

We Go in God’s Name
Our worship has ended – our service begins.

Adult Education
Morning Forum is held each Sunday following worship and fellowship time, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.  It is led by Pebble Hill members and by guests from the community. Topics range from Bible studies on particular books of the Bible or biblical topics, theological reflection on current events, mission speakers, and members, young and old, sharing their experiences and their faith journeys.  Seasonal studies are held during the week in Advent and Lent.
Membership at Pebble Hill

​You don’t have to be a member of Pebble Hill to participate in the life and worship of the church.  If you worship and participate in this faith community, we are committed to you as a brother or sister in Christ. Pastoral care is extended to you and you are welcome to be involved in our ministries and activities.


So why join? The decision to unite with the church through membership is the commitment you make in return to help build up the body of Christ in this place, to help us grow in faith and love, and to extend the witness and mission of our church into the wider community and world.

Each fall we offer a series of Newcomers classes. All newcomers to the congregation are invited to attend. Those who choose to join the congregation following this series are invited to do so. You don’t have to attend these classes in order to join, but your attendance is encouraged.  Other times during the year are designated as “new member” Sundays as well; you can join and attend the Newcomers classes the next time they are offered.
