At the heart of Waterford Mennonite is worship. We gather every Sunday morning to worship with joy-filled sharing of gifts, wisdom and life experiences that represent the full diversity of the congregation, all to the glory of God. An intentional effort is made to blend worship and music styles, mixing hymns and choruses, instrumental and vocal, lively and contemplative. We value the God-given gifts of all ages and work diligently at their discernment, practice and growth. Drawing upon scriptural themes, we include visual arts, drama, and other art forms to further our praise of God in our worship services.
If you would like to be involved in worshiping with us at Waterford Mennonite Church come to one of our two services and become an active part of our community praising God.
June Worship Series
The Psalms
“Most of scripture speaks to us while the Psalms speak for us.” This quote, from biblical scholar Bernhard W. Anderson, highlights the ways the psalms gift us with language to address God within the full scope of human emotions and experiences. Anderson also writes in his book, Out of the Depths: The Psalms Speak For Us Today, that “The Psalms may speak ‘for’ us… thereby teaching us how to pray with others in the various times of our lives.”
During the month of June, we will dwell each week with a different psalm. Together we will listen to the invitation to be drawn into the language and purpose of the psalm. We will consider how the psalm might continue to speak for us today in 2026 within our daily lives as followers of Jesus.
