Most Sunday services follow this order of worship:
|
Organ Prelude, Call to Worship |
|
|
Opening Hymn |
|
|
Invocation, the Lord's Prayer & Gloria Patri |
Since August 27, 1978 our Church family has been praying The Lord’s Prayer in a manner which is somewhat different from the customary forms familiar to most believers: Our Father who art in heaven: Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our coming day's bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into trial, but deliver us from the Evil One. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. A summary of references may be found here, and a more detailed treatment of the subject, here. |

Scripture Songs* |
Worshiping the Lord with contemporary instruments and music. On Communion Sundays*, announcements are made here in lieu of Scripture Songs. |
|
Scripture Reading & Sermon |
Sermons are based on Bible passages, typically in sequence so as to cover a book over the course of several weeks. Occasionally we will have one or more sermons on a specific topic, but usually it is a systematic study of the Bible. |

* Communion Sundays |
We observe Communion on the first Sunday of each month. All believing and baptized Christians are welcome to join us. We ask that children sit with their parents so that they may be served by them. |
