If you are like most people you like to have some idea of what to expect and especially if something is expected of you.  Here is what you would experience on a typical Sunday.

If you came in the southeast entrance you would probably see a greeter who would give you a bulletin that gives the order of service. You would also notice that you are in our “Welcome Center” and you could stop for a moment and get a cup of Kaladi Brothers coffee and maybe a treat of some sort. Also in that area will be a table with some literature on it about a number of subjects including information about the church, the ministries available and the missionaries we support.

As you keep walking the entry turns to the left and you enter the main area where the church services are held. You can take a seat wherever you like or if the service is fairly full an usher will find you a seat.

(The west entry is level and right next to the “Disabled” parking making it easy to roll a wheel chair right into the worship area.) The bathrooms are down stairs but we also have an elevator for those who need it.

Most people will be dressed casually, the pastor will have on a tie and jacket but chances are maybe one other person will. (Usually on Easter more people will be dressed up.)

The service will begin with the Worship team leading the congregation in singing. They will begin right on time and a lot of the music will be uplifting choruses but there will also be some old favorites.

The song service will last about 20 minutes then one of the men of the church will give a short talk in regard to Communion or the Lord’s Supper. Then the “bread” and the “wine” will be passed out for people to partake of Communion. The bread is actually pieces of cracker made without yeast and the “wine” is actually little individual cups of grape juice (non-alcoholic). The whole thing only takes a few minutes and you are not required to partake.

The message will take about 30 to 35 minutes and baskets will be passed around for the offering at the end of the service. Guests are not expected to give.

After the service is over it is our tradition to have refreshments, which vary from week to week. This is very popular and you are invited to enjoy the food and fellowship.
