We like to think of ourselves as a come-as-you-are congregation yet still maintain a sense of tradition. Early or later on a Sunday morning, formally dressed or in your slippers, with a hot beverage or a wondering heart, all who wish to catch the slightest vision of what God is doing are welcome. We believe Lyndhurst Community of Faith is a place that can speak to you, comfort you, challenge you and provide you with a spiritual home. If you are visiting for the first time, here are a few things you may like to know.

What can I expect on Sunday Morning?
Lyndhurst Community of Faith offers worship at 10:00 a.m. Morning Worship is a more traditional service with choir, familiar hymns, thoughtful prayers and readings and musical guests. Holy Communion is shared on the first Sunday of each month. We follow the Narrative Lectionary to inspire our weekly worship service
What can my children expect in worship?
We love to worship as a community and that include all! Children are warmly welcome to be in worship. Each week special sharing time allows children to center around God’s World to connect our lesson of the day with the child’s imagination. Sunday School meets following children’s sharing time in our classroom located in the lower level. The first Sunday of each month there is no class so all may share in worship and communion. A children’s corner is available in the rear of the sanctuary with rocking chairs, quiet activities and books.
