Summer Worship at East Congregational Church

building the Beth-el

Beginning on the 3rd week of June through Labor Day, worship begins at 9:30 and is intergenerational, informal and come as you are. The shorter services are thematic and may incorporate dramatic readings, skits and a variety of music. The summer service also features a special altar called a Beth-el. The name means, “place of God.” Worshippers bring tokens or water from places they have visited in their summer travels to place on the altar. A basket filled with stones and shells is always available for anyone to use as well. The water is later used for our baptisms.
