Time: 10:30 A.M.
Sundays
Nursery:
A nursery is staffed by a competent adult during church school and
worship. It is located off of the northeast corner of the fellowship
hall. .
Bibles
and hymnals for
use during the service are in racks at the back of the auditorium. We use the New International
Version of the Bible in worship. It is a modern translation of the
Bible that is faithful to the meaning of the original languages.
Music: Opening praise songs are usually displayed on the
wall from an overhead projector. We use the hymnal for the other
songs.
Children’s
Church: During the song just before the message
small children may leave for children’s church, where they have a Bible lesson an activity and
do a craft. The children’s worship leader will be at the door
near the front of the auditorium to lead the children to their worship area.
Share
and Prayer:
After the message there is a prayer time where everyone is encouraged to share
prayer requests and thanksgivings.
Offering: Opportunity is given
for a freewill offing for the support of the ministry. This is an act of
worship and it is a tangible way to thank God for the many blessings that
he has given us.
Refreshments: After the service you are invited for refreshments in
the fellowship hall. This is a time when you can meet members of the
congregation on in informal basis.
How We Dress: We usually wear casual clothes to our worship services.
