Worship Themes September 2026
Series Title: Drawn In: Living Out the Creative Life with God
adapted from a Worship series by Worship Design Studio/Marcia McFee
We spend too much time being “driven” rather than “drawn in.” We focus on what we “should” do rather than what we feel excited and compelled to do in our lives, in this world.
During this series, we will connect with our inherent creativity and nurture this foundational aspect of being human, giving us renewed energy for passionate work, delightful play, and creative problem solving to make this world a better place for all.September 6 “Hover” Luke 4:1-13
Hovering is the creative posture of taking a moment to see the “big picture.” In a world of quick fixes and instant gratification, we sometimes want to skip the step of paying attention to this question: “what one thing do we need to focus on now?” Giving ourselves space and time to think may feel like a luxury, but taking reflective time is an important part of the creative process. If you didn’t feel as if you have to do or fix everything, what one thing would you pay attention to at this point in your life? What do you feel drawn to?September 13 “Dream” Luke 4:13-21 WORSHIP RETURNS TO 11:00 AM Kick-Off Sunday – the beginning of our program year!
All creation began with the dream of God, the will and intention for life to exist, All our actions are born out of desire, out of a dream and vision for the future. We were created to imagine, to dream, to create. What moves your soul and brings you alive? What you create out of that is your gift to the world and the way in which you are part of God’s ongoing creative dream.

♦ Brief congregational meeting after worship
♦ Hospitality in the Parlor following the congregational meetingSeptember 20 “Risk” Matthew 25: 24-30
To create is to assert ourselves in a way that is risky, that invites stepping into the unknown. Jesus told a story about people who did different things with the “talents” given to them. Sometimes “risk” doesn’t look like we think it will. What are you able to risk in order to expand love and grace in the world? *Milestone MomentsSeptember 27 Guest Preacher: Rev. Julie Cory, retired DoC pastor, Chair of Team Two of the Commission on Ministry (Christian Church in Ohio). (Dr. Kate will be away on vacation.)
Scripture: Jeremiah 29:1-14 + Colossians 1:9-20

Intergenerational Worship
HCC has a long legacy of welcoming children and providing education, fellowship, and service opportunities for all ages. In an effort to meet the needs of parents today, we offer a Children’s Worship Space. We want children to feel welcome, a deep sense of belonging, and invited to participate in worship right along with their families.
Our hope in creating a Children’s Worship Space is that families will be able to worship together, each person actively engaged and participating as developmentally appropriate. We expect parents to sit with their children, helping their children worship as they are able, modeling their own faith in the process. Books, soft toys and art supplies are available to help children reflect and respond, as they absorb the sights and sounds of the worshipping community. This area is up in front, so that children can see and hear and feel included and involved in our worship. Other items to help children worship are available throughout our space. Our hope is that HCC will continue to be warm and welcoming, and will continue to support children and families as they seek to grow in faith.
11:00 AM Worship
“Let us come before him with thanksgiving, and extol him with music and song.” – Psalms 95:2
Worship at Heights Christian Church is a joyous, meaningful, interactive experience. We celebrate with different music styles, all praising and glorifying God.
Lay leaders play a major part in worship; they lead the opening litany, proclaim the Word, and a child lights the Peace Candle at the beginning of the service. Ordained elders lead the weekly celebration of the Lord’s Supper .
Dr. Kate helps us understand what Scripture means to our lives by delivering a Bible-based message with implications for daily life each week.
We hope that you will worship with us at 11:00 am this Sunday!
