WHAT ARE WORSHIP SERVICES LIKE?
Churches differ considerably not just in beliefs but also in style and format. In worship we strive for an atmosphere that invites the presence of the Holy Spirit, that is informal and yet reverent. Worship usually includes a greeting time, but don’t worry, we don’t single out visitors. Our music may vary from week to week from mostly praise songs to mostly hymns, with special music on occasion. We have lots of children, so a story for children or songs by children are a regular part of the service. Worship is participatory with an opportunity for sharing of joys, testimonies, and prayer concerns prior to the congregational prayer. A scripture lesson and message (usually by the pastor) are central to our service.
Our worship attendance at present averages in the 80’s with approximately 120 members and friends on our church list. Worship is usually an hour or a bit more in length. It is followed by 10-15 minutes for fellowship and refreshments (greatly enjoyed) prior to Sunday school, which features classes for all ages.
