OUR WORSHIP AND MUSIC
It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name,
O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night.
WORSHIP
Worship Schedule
Services are held each Sunday morning year round at 10:00 a.m. with the sacrament of Holy Communion observed the first Sunday of the month. Children begin worship in the sanctuary and then may attend a story hour if they wish. During the summer months worship is frequently held outside in the church's Field of Dreams.
Special Services
Christmas Eve services include an early evening service for families and a late evening communion service. The congregation observes Maundy Thursday with an evening Communion service.
Ecumenical Services
Central Presbyterian Church traditionally joins other village congregations for worship in the Village Park one Sunday each July and participates in other ecumenical village services.
The Central Presbyterian Church is handicapped accessible.
MUSIC
Philosophy
The above passage from Psalm 92 is the basis of the music program at Central. Our purpose is praising God and leading others in worship, which we seek to do in exciting and relevant ways.
Frequent appearances of guest musicians supplement the fine music of those who are a regular part of our worship, all of which brings spontaneity and variety to our worship experience.
As we praise God together, we also seek to find joy and fellowship in our work.
Choirs
Chancel Choir (High School through Adults)
Children's Choir (Pre-School through Fifth Grade)
Adult Handbell Choir (High School through Adults)
Youth Handbell Choir (Fourth Grade through Eighth Grade)
The Chancel Choir sings every Sunday, September through June; the Adult Handbell Choir performs frequently during Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, and monthly during the rest of the year. The younger groups perform monthly.
Our Organ
The Sanctuary Organ, a 1950 eleven rank Môller, has been rebuilt by Parsons Pipe Organ Builders of Canandaigua, NY. Currently it is a three manual and pedal instrument of forty speaking stops from 38 ranks of pipes. The organ committee was most impressed by instruments which Parsons has built, and we are very excited about this wonderful addition to our church.
