Special Services
Intergenerational Services
Four times a year Edgewood has Intergenerational services, a time when all ages are specifically included in worship and there are no church classes. Prayers may be led by elementary students or the scriptures read by youth. These lively, energetic services often celebrate church special days:

Join us to experience the joy of a joint choir and the gift of hearing scripture, liturgy, and meditations from different religious traditions. Monday, November 21, 2011, 7:00 pm Service of the Longest Night/Blue Christmas Service This service is for anyone who is struggling with the holidays due to grief, loss, or anything else that might make this a difficult rather than joyous time. In this service we acknowledge that Christ came into the world to shine light into our shadowed places. The service is a time of music, reflection, candle-lighting, and hope.
