What to Expect on Sunday at Condit Presbyterian Church
Where do I park; which doorway enters the church sanctuary?
There is plenty of parking at Condit, including and off-CR 605 lot which can hold up to
120 vehicles just to the south of the church building. A cement pad to the center allows
Handicapped/Physically-Impaired parking for easy access. Entrance to the sanctuary is
via a ramped sidewalk, with a handicapped accessible automatic doorway. Street-edge,
parallel parking accommodates about 10 vehicles on the north, Hartford Rd., side of the
church, with entry up stairs to the green front doors and church narthex.
Worship area is just inside both doors, with a connecting hallway skirting the sanctuary.
At both doorways there are usher/greeters available each Sunday to answer questions and
distribute bulletins for the service. Both entries exhibit recent copies of the Condit
Courier newsletter and other information about Condit, Presbyterian faith, and upcoming
church activities.

How formal are Condit churchgoers?
Members and friends dress casually at Condit: comfortable clothing is ‘in.’ Anyone
wearing dresses, coats-and-ties, jeans, shorts and T-shirts, is welcome to come worship
with us! Both hallway and narthex are usually filled with congregants prior to and after
Worship greeting each other and catching up on both joys and concerns of one another,
our families, and our new friends.
Will I be recognized from the pulpit?
A narthex table displays a “red pew pad” where newcomers have the option of recording
their attendance. If you desire to leave some contact information in it, the pastor can
follow through with answering any questions or concerns you might raise by means of a
call, text, email or other contact information you offer. Rest assured, you will not be
“signaled out” from the pulpit . . . unless, of course, you wish!
What’s Condit’s Service like?
Condit’s Worship is traditional, musical, informal, inspirational, yet meditative for all!
How Do Young Children Fit In?
Condit has always been known for generations of congregants; members and guests take
pride in our youth. Though we have no regular Sunday School training nor nursery
provided, we can easily accommodate youth of all ages. Our children sometimes make
noise, have to get up to attend to needs, and squirm! Condit truly loves our young
families and visitors, and want all to feel welcomed!

What About The Lord’s Supper?
Condit celebrates the Lord’s Supper with Communion quarterly during the worship
calendar. Guests are welcome and invited to participate, but don’t have to. Elements of
bread and juice are passed along each pew by our Elders. On some special occasions, we
celebrate Communion by Intinction, which means recipients walk to the front of the
sanctuary where pastor and an elder offer pieces of bread to dip in a juice cup during
meditation.
