What to Expect in Worship
You will be greeted at the front door, then you will enter the Welcome Center. You will probably be greeted again, either by the pastor or an usher. Hang your coat in the coat rack, then get a nametag, available for all, whether this is your first visit or you’ve been here hundreds of times. Coffee and water are on a cart, and you are welcome to take beverages into the worship space.
The usher will give offer you a bulletin packet, which includes a Communication Card, Devotion and special announcements.
Children are welcome to be with their parents throughout worship, or they may go to Sunday Circles after the Announcement of the Week, or after Communion on Communion Sunday. Someone from the Children and Families Team will lead the way. Children age 5 and under may be in the Little Saints room with a childcare person.
Sunday worship services start at 10:30am. The service lasts approximately one hour. Usually song lyrics, Scripture readings, and other items are on the overhead screen. Usually Pastor Paul Moore and Music Director Jan Boehm lead worship. The Praise Team leads the congregation in a mix of contemporary and traditional songs. Please be sure to fill out the Communication Card and put it in the offering basket.
After worship everyone is welcome to stay a while, have a cup of coffee, and just visit if you wish. Your presence is appreciated.
Sunday, December 3
We will begin Advent with a sermon series called, “The Gift that Keeps on Giving.” Communion will be celebrated. People can also receive anointing.
The Christmas season is a season of gifts. The one gift that lasts is the entrance of Jesus into the world. This gift never gets old; it always has something new to present; and it makes an incredible impact in our life. In this sermon series Pastor Paul will communicate how the Christmas story is the gift that keeps on giving. The gift is surprising, it goes way beyond what we would expect, and it’s always helpful.
This Sunday the Scripture focus will be Luke 1:5-17.
