Our worship
is simple and based entirely on what is taught in the New
Testament. We will sing together, You will probably be familiar
with most of the hymns and are invited to join with us in the
singing. Men in the congregation will lead in prayers.
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 the Bible says. There is never any
attempt to teach anything profound or mysterious, just simple
Bible truths. 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. 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,
are designed to embarrass, but rather to teach.
During the
worship service, the Lord’s Supper, or Communion, will be served
by men of the congregation. The New Testament teaches that
Christians or members of the Lord’s church are to do this on the
first day of the week. (Acts 20:7). You will not be asked or
expected to do so. A contribution will be taken, again, because
the church is commanded to do this on the first day of the week
(1Cor. 16:2). As our guest you are not asked or expected to
give. Do not feel embarrassed to pass the container to your
neighbor or men serving.
We hope now that you know a
little more about us and our worship you will make plans to join
us at our next service.
