Worship is an act of love. The word worship literally means “to give worth to” or “to acclaim as worthy.” God is surely worthy of us. God gives Himself totally for us in the person of Jesus Christ. He does this for us purely out of love for us. God doesn’t need our worship. But we offer it to Him anyway, out of love for Him. We are able to love Him because He first loved us (1 John 4:7-21).

We believe that when we celebrate the Eucharist, the line between heaven and earth thins, and the whole Church throughout the world and throughout time is joined as one with God. In our worship space this is symbolized for us in a mural above the altar that depicts the Communion of the Saints. The mural reminds us that in the simple act of blessing and sharing bread and wine we’re sharing in something much greater, in the transforming power of God that Christians call “grace.”
