Worship…

We are here to celebrate what God has done to save us.

We do this through song, scripture, prayer and preach-

ing. We invite you to express your worship in your own

way, whether sitting or standing, raising hands or clap-

ping. Most importantly, God asks that we worship Him

from our hearts, so we encourage you to focus on the

words and make them your personal expression to God.

Communion…

We celebrate communion every Sunday. This is a time for

all Believers to remember God’s gift of grace through His

Son, Jesus. Please eat the bread and drink the cup as

they are passed.

Offering…

Please do NOT feel obligated to participate in the offer-

ing. You are our guest and we are glad that you are here!

Children…

If you have young children, we encourage you to take

advantage of our excellent Children’s Ministry programs

located in the west side education wing. The Nursery

for birth to 24 months is still provided during all ser-

vices. During the 10:30 a.m. Worship Service, Wee Wor-

ship is provided for those age 2 through Kindergarten,

Kids’ Worship for grades 1st-4th and Route 56 for

grades 5th/6th.
