Our Worship
Our worship is based on the examples of the first christians
as they worshiped God. Feel free to participate, or just observe, any of
these activities. These are the ways we honor God, and why :
Prayers are offered by different men of the church to seek
God's face, to pray for those who need His power and forgiveness, and to
praise His greatness. See I Timothy 2:8.
Songs are always sung a capella (which means "in the style of
the churches") because that was the practice of the early church. See
Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16.
The Breaking of the Bread is a memorial to Jesus our Lord. We
celebrate this each Sunday as disciples have always done (Acts 20:7).
This memorial is for christians. Each individual determines his/her
participation. See I Corinthians 11:23-34.
The contribution of the saints is taken up each Sunday, as
ordered by Paul in I Corinthians 16: 1, 2. This is a collection from
our church family. Guests may contribute but are not expected to do so.
The sermon is usually given by an evangelist, or one of the
brothers will speak. You are encouraged to follow along in your Bible or one
of the Bibles in the pew racks. Listen carefully, proving all things
from the Word. This is never insulting to us - we demand Biblical proof for
all we preach and practice. See Acts 17:11.
