New Here?
Welcome! We are happy to be able to worship God together with you!
We are an inviting congregation committed to building disciples and serving others. We are blessed to be a growing congregation, and newcomers tell us the friendly and welcoming spirit is what draws them to our church. We are a church filled with “do-ers” excited to participate in worship, fellowship, and faith development.
Worship is at 9:00 every Sunday morning. We are located at 104 South Elm Street in Washington, Illinois. Our parking lot is behind the building and the entry is on High Street (across from the post office). Parking is also available on the surrounding streets, or in the post office’s public parking lot.
The Logistics
We strive to put Christ at the center of all we do, including our worship. Worship at Cana is contemporary in spirit while remaining rooted in the traditions that unite us with Christians troughout history.
This blend of old and new is reflected in our talented worship band. You can expect to hear them leading us through some of your favorite modern worship songs along with traditional hymns updated with a contemporary feel.
We incorporate elements of traditional worship that keep us focused on the universal, lasting truth of Christ, such as the Lord’s Prayer and Apostle’s Creed. Through the sermon, we strive to more fully understand Scripture and apply it to our lives. You can listen to a recent sermon in our archive.
Worship at Cana
Our congregation spans all age ranges, but most visitors notice right away the disproportionate number of young families in our church. Children are among God’s greatest blessings and we welcome their role in worship! Every worship service includes a children’s message. A nursery and private nursing-mothers’ room are available. The nursery is staffed by volunteers during the sermon. Many families take advantage of the nursery at some point during worship, but we believe worship is for everyone — including children!
After worship, Cana Kids (Sunday School) is offered for Pre-K through 5th graders from August through May. During the summer, children are invited to participate in Children’s Church during the sermon. Our 6th through 8th grade students participate in Confirmation class weekly during the school year to study scripture on a deeper level and prepare to become confirmed members of the congregation.
At Cana, we think of our congregation as our “church family” and enjoy the connections and friendships formed here. Whatever your age, you will find welcoming people happy to include you in our family!
Have Children?
After Worship
We host a fellowship brunch after worship each Sunday. This is a great opportunity to get to know others in the church. After the children head to Cana Kids, many of their parents enjoy the chance to socialize with other adults. Pastor Matt also regularly leads adult Bible studies or discussion groups during this time.
We hope you will join us for worship soon!
