“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God" (Colossians 3:16).

God specified that we use the instrument He created--the human voice and human heart when we sing. He desires the pure expression of worship. In our desire to serve Him according to His expressed will, we sing without any instrumental accompaniment.

“And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God” (Mark 14:22-25).

Each week, we gather to keep the saving sacrifice of Jesus fresh in our minds and our lives in the Lord's Supper. The bread without yeast symbolizes Christ's physical body and grape juice mirrors His blood given for sin. In this service, we remember our freedom from sin and our anticipation of heaven.

“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver”

(2 Corinthians 9:6-7).

We give financially each week as an expression of our gratitude for God's blessings, but also to acknowledge our role as stewards of the wealth God has provided. With the money collected, we spread God's message and help those in need. All contributions are free-will, and no one is obligated to give.

“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers” (Acts 2:42).

“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching” (2 Timothy 4:2).

We connect with God's will through listening to his voice, the Bible.

Our sermons come from God's Word. Through them we learn, are strengthened, and are encouraged.

“Pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18).

Prayer to God will be found throughout our worship service. Talking to God requires our praise, our devotion and our reliance upon Him for all things.

We thank you for being with us today and hope your experience of worship brings you closer to the God we serve.
