Welcome to Worship!!!

The Worship and Ministry Team invites you to worship as a part of the SFTS community during Welcome Week and throughout the school year.

During the school year, we worship every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 10:15 a.m. On Mondays and Thursdays, we worship together in Stewart Chapel. On Tuesdays and Fridays, we worship in Montgomery Chapel. Each day has a particular worship emphasis—Monday (preaching), Tuesday (prayer), Thursday (praise), and Friday (Word and Sacrament). We celebrate communion together on Fridays.

For Welcome Week, our worship will reflect upon a theme from Ecclesiastes:

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1
