We hold weekly Sunday morning services in our church sanctuary. Rooted in the Anabaptist Mennonite faith tradition, our services seek to explore the revelation of Biblical scripture and its implications in our lives, community, and world. Services are typically filled with scripture, prayer, singing, children's time, and a sermon that draws from a particular theme or scripture text.
There is a nursery located on the balcony for parents with young children; yet, we welcome the 'noises' from a multi-generational worship service.
We strive for a multi-voiced approach to worshipping together, so we have many active worship participants, including planning groups, lay speakers, worship leaders, ushers/greeters, sound system operators, song leaders, and musicians.
Season of Lent and Easter at Stirling!
Join us for the Season of Lent and Easter as we consider, what does it mean to be “Dwelling in Dissonance”? Dissonance can mean a lack of agreement (e.g. between the truth and what people want to believe) or inconsistency (e.g. between the beliefs one holds or between one's actions and one's beliefs). There are many dissonances in the individual, communal, and eco-social contexts we find ourselves in today. In this season of Lent, we seek to name some of these dissonances in our lives and consider them in relation to examples of dissonance in the gospel according to John. What dissonances do you feel? How do you hold those tensions, name the feelings they bring up for you, and where do you find hope?
