Sunday Mornings

At Pluckemin, we want worship to be the best hour of your week! That's why every service is carefully planned to help worshippers to come into God's presence in ways that inspire, inform, challenge, and heal.  We proudly follow a traditional Presbyterian order of worship, but no one would accuse us of being stuck in the past.

We celebrate The Lord's Supper (communion) on the first Sunday of every month. All baptized people are welcome, regardless of your denominational background.

Interested in Baptism for yourself or your child? Contact the church office for more information: 908-658-3346. We would love to help you.

Getting married? Call the church office for information on Weddings at Pluckemin (you don't have to be a member to be married here): 908-658-3346.

The sanctuary is fully air-conditioned and handicapped accessible.

• 9:00 am - Worship, Children's Worship, Nursery Care

• 10:00 am - Fellowship Hour

The Christmas season is filled with emotions that range from happy to sad. This service is designed to help us reflect on the healing and peace and ultimately joy that this season promises. The Reflections of Advent service is filled with special readings, music and an opportunity to come to the manger in a unique and reflective way. 
 

On December 24th we offer three worship celebrations, each with its own unique emphasis.

• 4:30 pm - Children's Pageant and Family Worship. The children lead us in song as they re-enact the story of Jesus' birth in this 45 minute celebration. This is a truly child-centered service. If your child would like to participate in the pageant, call Valerie Sell, Associate Director of Music (908-874-3406). Professional infant and toddler care are provided.

• 7:30pm - Traditional Festive Worship with your favorite carols and special music offered by the Carillon Youth Handbell Choir. Whole families enjoy worshipping together at this service, which includes a candle-lit rendition of "Silent Night." For children there are activity bags and a children's message.

• 10:00pm - The Sanctuary Choir leads us in singing your favorite hymns in this candlelit Communion service.
