Morning Worship
|
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.

Fellowship and Support
|
The Christian faith not only involves a relationship and communion with God but
also with fellow believers. Mt. Auburn 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 that features
fair trade coffee.
This time also provides an opportunity for people to sign up for volunteer
opportunities such as IHN, make
reservations for
MAPC
Nights Out Downtown (includes Broadway musicals 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. Mt. Auburn also provides
special events throughout the year such as the bi-annual Cabaret that features
members and friends showcasing their talents, our annual Thanksgiving dinner,
and the annual Summer Camp that is held before Labor Day to name a few.
More information about these various activities and opportunities may be found
in our monthly newsletter
The Beacon.
