Worship 
"Worship is at the very heart of the church's life. All that the
church is and does is rooted in its worship. The community of faith,
gathered in response to God's call, is formed in its worship. Worship is
the principal influence that shapes our faith, and is the most visible
way we express the faith." - The Book of Common Worship
Sunday mornings at Hudson are important:
Worship is where we re-focus our lives on God in Jesus Christ. Through
praise, confession, listening to the stories of our faith and responding
to these stories with our gifts, we prepare for the week ahead of us.
In worship we remember who we are and to whom we belong. Both services
are inter-generational: Young and old: children, youth and adults. We
celebrate the diversity of the body of Christ and know we are a better
picture of the Christian body when that diversity worships together!
Below are the worship times and brief
descriptions of each service:

Morning Glory Worship
In this worship service the music is led by
the church's Worship Team (guitar, keyboard, drums and harmonized
singing). We use a screen in the sanctuary for images, liturgy and
words to songs. Many people who attend this service like the early time
and its more informal style. It usually finishes around 9:50 a.m. to
allow time for children, youth and adults to get to various church
school and educational opportunities.
Traditional Worship
The 11:05 service is led musically by the
churches Chancel Choir on most Sundays. We sing out of a hymnal and
often there is special music from the children's choir, youth ensemble,
handbell choir or individual musicians. The service incorporates
responsive readings, affirmations, along with other liturgical movements
that you would find in many Presbyterian Churches across the country.
Both services have a children's messages and
sermon that is relevant to the scripture read that day and applicable to
the lives we led the rest of the week. Worship at Hudson will renew
your spirit and help you find balance in your life.
