What We Offer

Morning Worship Each Sunday

 

At 11:00 am each Sunday (10:00 during the summer months of June, July, and August) we meet together in the Sanctuary to share joys and concerns, praise God through words and music, reflect on God's message to us through Scripture and sermon, communicate with God through prayer, support and witness to each other on our journeys of faith, and enjoy the fellowship of Christ's church. The first Sunday of each month also includes Holy Communion.

To view the Order of Worship for some recent services visit the bulletins section of our Communications page.

Fellowship and Support

The Christian faith not only involves a relationship and communion with God but also with fellow believers.  Mount Auburn Presbyterian Church  supports this not only through our weekly worship and education but also through other activities.  Each Sunday after worship many members and friends gather in the Social Room for Coffee Hour.  This time also provides an opportunity for people to sign up for volunteer opportunities, make reservations for MAPC Nights Out  (includes Broadway musicals, plays and concerts), meet and greet visitors, learn more about programs or events announced at the beginning of the worship service or in the bulletin, and much more. 

Mount Auburn Presbyterian Church  provides special events throughout the year such as our annual Thanksgiving dinner and the annual Summer Camp to name a few.  More information about these various activities and opportunities may be found in our monthly newsletter The Beacon and the latest bulletin announcements on our Communications page.
