Sunday Forum takes place from 9:50-10:50 am in the Shaw Room with coffee, tea, and a guest speaker who presents
and then invites discussion on a topic such as spiritual authenticity, healing for our city, the challenges of peace in our
world, climate change, journeys of grief, nonviolent communication, and positive parenting.
These gatherings are free and open to the public.
11:00 am Worship, (10 am in the summer), in the Downtown Presbyterian Church sanctuary is centered in soul-stirring music,
prayers of praise and hope, and innovative preaching that brings into dialogue the wisdom of scripture and
the challenges we face in our lives and in our world. During the Children’s Time, our Pastor sits on the
chancel steps and really talk with our youngsters, who never fail to keep the pastor on her toes! Our
Pastor, Rev. Pat Youngdahl collaborates closely in planning worship with Lee Wright, our
Director of Music Ministry, who conducts the Chancel Choir, Children’s Ensemble, and seasonal bell choirs.
At noon, everyone is invited to a Fellowship Time in the Hallock Lounge, where coffee, tea, and cookies are served.
After worship, facilitator Bob Carlisle convenes Ripple Effects, a gathering of everyone who on that day would like to join in further conversation on the worship themes of the day and get to know one another better in a smaller setting. All are welcome!/P>
