This Week's Worship: October 4th, 2026

October 2, 2026

This Week's Worship is updated on Fridays before Sunday service. Watch our services on YouTube here.

Join us for worship at Rutgers this Sunday at 11am! 

After a summer-long reconstruction, we are coming home to our sanctuary — and our new floor has a spiritual secret!

A labyrinth is more than a beautiful ancient pattern. It can be a metaphor for the journey of life and the journey of faith. This Sunday, we begin exploring three lessons hidden in its winding path.

Join us for Homecoming worship and fellowship!

Friday's Message from Pastor Andrew: Watch the video introduction here.

Gabe's Music Corner: The choir and I are so excited to be back in the sanctuary this Sunday! As much as we’ve enjoyed the close intimacy with the congregation in our makeshift sanctuary, we are excited to share music in our renovated space! A plus of the floor renovation is that it has improved acoustics in our sanctuary.

I wanted to share that due to some delays our organ will not return to worship until mid-October. While I am disappointed that we won’t be able to fully welcome our new space with our grand organ, I am excited for what it will sound like when it returns! I will keep you updated on the exact Sunday it will return.

Sunday’s Prelude is a very interesting arrangement of the hymn tune of “Old Hundredth.” This arrangement by Tracey Craig McKibben gives an unexpected adaptation of this hymn tune that is usually presented as grand and almost march-like. McKibben changes the meter to a triple meter and is done in a very soft, meditative manner. It’s a tastefully done arrangement.

Usually for World Communion, I try and incorporate pieces from around the world. This year, I chose to do songs of welcome and peace. We have much turmoil in our world right now, and the theme of peace and welcome stood out to me. We’ll be singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth” by Mark Hayes and “For Everyone Born” by Tom Trenney.
