The Many Ministries Of
Dorchester Presbyterian Church
Worship
As with any Christian church, the single most important thing we do is worship. Sunday morning services are held at 10:15 am in our spacious sanctuary. Special services are held on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday and Christmas Eve. The Lord's Supper is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month as well as during these special services.
Children's Church
Held during worship, children's church is designed especially for preschoolers who have outgrown the nursery but are not ready to sit through an entire worship service. Children begin worship with the entire congregation,
participate in a children's message and then depart for a time of learning and fellowship that is geared to their level of understanding.
Nursery
Infant and toddler nurseries are available during Sunday
school and worship in the Education Building. Each nursery is led by a staff nursery worker and a volunteer member of the congregation.
Our Safe Place Policy sets up nursery guidelines to help parents feel safer about leaving their children in someone else’s care – especially
those new to our church family. We can assure parents that we have trained and screened our staff and volunteers to provide the best care. We have also begun using a nursery paging system. Parents are given a numbered pager so that the nursery workers can get in touch with them if necessary. We also use the pagers to ensure that the children only leave with the person who dropped them off since parents have to return the correctly numbered pager when they come to pick up their child.
Choir
The backbone of our music program is our
choir. The choir invites participation from all who have musical talent and desire to put it to use in the Lord's service. Rehearsals are scheduled August through May on Wednesday evenings at
6:30pm.
