Throughout the rest of the year (October through the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend) the service is held in the Church Sanctuary using the same non-traditional format.
The 10:30 am service is the traditional worship hour at which the liturgical orders are used as the format and the church's traditional hymns are sung. This service is always held in the Church Sanctuary. Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month.
