Erev Shabbat Services

Minyan Lay-Led Services

minyan lay-led serviceLay-Led Informal Minyan Service

Every Shabbat at 10:00 a.m. members of the congregation lead an informal service open to all in the Foster Family Chapel. Called the Minyan Service, it features prayer, singing and Torah discussion in a relaxed and friendly setting. Attending the Minyan service is a wonderful way to become more familiar with a Shabbat morning service and to venture into participation in a service.
