Our service begins without announcement, following introductory
music (the prelude). After the first hymn, we remain standing for the opening
of the Lord's Word. Then follows an invitation to prayer and the
Lord's Prayer. The children are invited to the front of the church
for a reading & talk. After a blessing, the children then leave with
their Sunday School teachers for Bible study. The adults remain in the
church for the sermon. No offertory plates or money baskets are passed
around during our service. At the entrances to the church are offertory
bowls for a free will offering. At the end of the service, the offertory
is brought forward by the usher and it is dedicated to the uses of the
church. Adults are invited to partake of the Holy Supper provided quarterly and during festival services. Please check our newsletter or contact our for specific dates and times. After each service, please join us for refreshments and conversation in the Church Hall. Please sign our guest register. |
