Worship is central to our life together at Vanderbilt
Presbyterian Church. We offer a variety of worship
services to meet the needs of all age groups, including children.
You will find our worship services to be biblical, inspirational,
joyful, and prayerful. We invite you to join us.
We welcome all children into the life of
our church. We believe children are created by God and are a gift of
God. They are a very important part of our church family and
we value them for their unique contributions. We are delighted
to have children worship with us. We are a true family of God
with all generations present. During the Worship Services,
parents and children can enjoy discovering together the Children's
Bulletin. This bulletin has been specially prepared to give
children a quiet activity during Worship. For those who need a
little help, designated parking, ramps, a special wheelchair worship
area, and large print bulletins are available. All buildings
are wheelchair accessible.
About Sunday Worship Services Times:
During the months of October- May 16,
2010, the congregation meets for
worship
on Sunday mornings at *9:00am and 11:00am in the Sanctuary.
Summer Schedule: May
23 through October 23, 2010, the

First Fellowship
is
held every Sunday from 8:00-8:30am and provides time for praise music,
silence, prayers and a homily in the Chapel. This one-half hour long,
non-traditional Sunday morning worship service is built on the Taizé
model, but is not exclusively a Taizé service and it includes music,
prayers, silence, Scripture and a brief message based on the
Scripture reading for the day. Childcare is provided for
children 5 yrs and under. Older children are expected to
participate in the worship along with their parents.
We use a variety of hymns ranging from theologically
appropriate praise hymns to very familiar traditional hymns, perhaps
sung in a different style. We celebrate communion once a
month on the present communion schedule by intinction only.
Summer Schedule: First Fellowship meets
from 8:30-9:00am, Sunday, May 23 through Sunday, October 20,
2010.
Taizé Evening Prayer Services:
The Taizé Prayer Services with
candlelight and Taizé music are held in
the evening on designated Sundays at 5:30 pm in the Chapel.
In addition to prayerful, joyous music from the ecumenical community
of Taizé in France, the services include scripture, prayer and
silent reflection. The services are short (about 30 minutes),
and casual dress is encouraged. If you have not had a chance
to experience these wonderful services, we hope you will give them a
try.
Next Taizé Candlelight
Prayer Service:

Service of Wholeness: The
Service of Wholeness is held the third Sunday each month

If you would like to participate in the healing service,
please come forward and take a seat in the front pews.
