Worship Services
The heart of our life as a faith community is worship. It is the expression of our praise and thanksgiving to God, the affirmation of our faith in Jesus Christ and the celebration of God’s Spirit in our midst. At Merritt Island Presbyterian Church, worship is designed to draw us into a deeper awareness of God’s presence and God’s desire to change and challenge our lives.
8:45 am Service
This service is led musically by the WLT-Worship Leadership Team and features contemporary Christian music and hymns with a variety of instruments and styles. This service has much of the same content as the later service, yet is more informal. Children 4 years through 4th grade are invited to leave mid-service to attend Children’s Church, where they will hear a story based on the day’s scripture passage and/or lectionary. Children 3 years and younger are welcome in our Cherub Room. Family members may also choose to sit in our soundproof “Cherub Room” adjacent to the Sanctuary with a live feed on the TV. Headsets are available at this service for the hearing impaired and large print bulletins are also available.
11:00 am Service
This service reflects our rich heritage in reformed worship. The liturgies are written each week, and are fresh and relevant to our daily lives. We experience sacred music of all styles, periods and cultures. Handbells enhance worship regularly, and our pipe organ lends a mighty support for congregational singing. The Chancel Choir leads us in singing hymns and presenting great choral anthems.
