There are several prayers during the service.
Some prayers are for specific needs and/or requests.
Men in the congregation will lead in these & all prayers,
where present.
Singing
“…I will sing with the spirit…”
We all sing together. You will probably be familiar with most of the
hymns and are invited to join with us in the singing. Using the aid
of only a hymnbook we are lead in “a cappella” songs.
Since the New Testament excludes instrumental
music, we believe it’s best we exclude it also.
(Eph.
5:19)
“…preaching
the word of the Lord…”
There will be a Christ centered sermon designed to teach and uplift
all who are present. You are urged to take notes and check what you
hear against what your Bible says. There is never any attempt to
teach anything profound or mysterious, just simple Bible truths.
Most sermons are about
30 minutes, in length.
“…baptism doth also now save us…”
At the close of the sermon those who wish to become Christians are invited to make this known by coming to the front of the assembly. This time is also an opportunity for those in need of prayer, to make their wishes known. There will be no singling out of visitors or anyone present and no one will be asked to raise their hand or
stand. No one will go about the audience urging people to
come forward. Neither the worship, nor the invitation, is designed
to embarrass, but rather to teach.
“…the disciples came together to break bread…”
If you visit with us on any Sunday, during the worship service, the Lord’s Supper/Communion will be served by men of the congregation.
The New Testament teaches that Christians are to do this upon the first day of the week. (Acts 20:7).
”…let every one of you lay by him in store…”
As our guest you are not asked or expected to give. Do no feel embarrassed to pass the container to your
neighbor or men serving.
Teachers/classes
“…he began to teach them many things…”
Classes for all ages, with Christian teachers and helpers offering a wide variety of lessons.
Our classes range in ages from cradle roll (infants) to our Senior Members. If you
are interested in learning more about the Bible and the Lord’s Church,
we offer correspondence courses, and individual bible studies.
Just ask one of the Elders, Deacons or members and we
will see that you get started immediately.
