Accessibility

Handicapped access is available via an elevator to the sanctuary and Sunday School classrooms on the second floor. The elevator is located on the ground level, through the side door (Wonder Awhile Nursery School entrance), near the handicapped parking.

Communion

Communion is served every Sunday during the church service. We use the method of intinction (dipping in a communal cup) and serve bread and grape juice. Gluten-free bread and juice cups are also available for those with food allergies. All are welcome to take part in communion.

Prayer Chain

Our worship service includes a time to share personal "Joys and Concerns" with the congregation. We recognize that sometimes a person is unable to attend a service, or they wish to have a joy or concern shared only among our "prayer warriors" through our email Prayer Chain. If you would like to request prayers for yourself or your loved ones, please contact the Church Office, at 377-8620 or via email. If you have a spiritual matter you would like to discuss with the pastor, please contact Pastor Ned Crockett via email.

St. Richard's Prayer

Thanks be to you, our Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits which you have given us,
for all the pains and insults which you have borne for us.
Most merciful Redeemer, Friend, and Brother,
may we know you more clearly, love you more dearly,
and follow you more nearly, day by day. Amen.

Childcare & Ark-tivities

Nursery care is available during the Sunday worship service at no charge, for children from infant to age 4. The nursery is equipped with fun, age-appropriate toys, and staffed by paid church employees.

Ark-Tivities, a time of engaging worship-related crafts and games, is available for children from kindergarten through third grade during the worship service. Children who are going to Ark-tivities stay in the service until after the Children's Message, when Ark-tivities begin.

Children of all ages, from babies-in-arms on up, are also welcome to stay with their parents during the service. While we have childcare facilities available if you care to use them, we understand that some parents and children are more comfortable together and that some parents desire to have their children stay for the service at an earlier age.
