Acknowledgement
We realize that our Shabbat services are quite long for the average individual. They are designed to touch just about every area of our being. Therefore, if we were to shorten them, we would need to drop some area of ministry. So, if you have a limited amount of time to spend in Shabbat services, we recommend that you fit your time allotment over our schedule, wherever your needs will best be met. It is traditional to come and go as you wish, and we believe you will find at least one of the service portions that touches you where you need it. Our desire is that your spiritual needs be met. Actually, most of us spend the entire Shabbat together. Feel free to tailor your attendance according to your needs.
