Parking

There are two parking lots on either side of the church, one off of Hayshire Drive, and the other off of Haybrook Drive. Handicap parking is available in both lots.
WHERE SHOULD I GO WHEN I ARRIVE?
There are two main entrances to our gathering area, one from each parking lot. You will be welcomed by our greeters and handed a bulletin that will help you follow along during the service. Our santuary is right off the gathering area, and you may have a seat wherever you are comfortable. If you would like to take advantage of the hymn lyrics on our projector, we suggest that you sit in the pews on the left-hand side.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Come as you are! You may wear anything you feel comfortable in. Most people dress casually, but you will see anything from suits to shorts.
WHAT ARE YOUR WORSHIP SERVICES LIKE?
Everyone is always welcome at our worship service which lasts for about an hour on Sunday mornings. You will find our service is somewhat traditional but relaxed and comfortable with the integration of some technology. The sermons from Pastor Brenda are both scripture based and current to today’s issues. We love singing traditional hymns as well as experiencing some contemporary songs from our choir. Youth and children are involved in our worship time by participating in the choir, readings, children’s messages, acolyting and Faith Time. We encourage children to be a part of the service because the way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they respond to the church, to God, and to one another. We want them to know that they are welcomed in this place of worship.

​We are always excited to see new faces and would love to have you join us!
ARE THERE ACTIVITIES FOR MY KIDS?
Church Nursery
​Our church nursery is available for children ages 1–6 and is staffed by two adults who have been back-ground cleared per the PA state regulations. This space is designed to provide a place of safety, caring and fun for our youngest church members and guests, while allowing their parents to participate in Sunday morning worship and activities. The nursery is located in the hallway on the west side of the church.

Faith Time
Twice per month, youth of all ages are invited to participate in fun faith lessons with our awesome group leaders after the children’s message during worship. Learn more about Faith Time on our Ministries page.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNION?
Everyone who attends worship with us is welcome to participate in communion—from our youngest to our oldest members, our guests to our regulars. We all come together at Jesus's table.

Both red juice and white wine are served. We also have a gluten free option.

For more information on communion, visit our Worship page.
DO you COLLECT AN OFFERING?
Offering is a time in our service when we respond to God’s gifts of love by offering the gifts of our lives. For many of us, this is when we make a financial gift towards the ministries and programs of our church. We also use this time to ask God how we might use the gifts of our hands and hearts in sharing God’s love. For guests, there is no obligation to give a financial gift. We are just glad you are worshiping with us.
IS HAYSHIRE A WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY CHURCH?
Yes! Our facilities are wheelchair friendly. Please see a greeter if you need any assistance and we will do our best to accommodate any needs.
