A Call to Worship

We are a congregation motivated by love to serve the heavenly Father in observing the practices established in the New Testament Scriptures.  Our goal is to continue steadfastly as the early church did in the apostles' doctrine, in fellowship, in breaking of bread and prayers (Acts 2:42). 

 

 

The following activities are observed in our worship assemblies:

 

 

  • Prayer

God desires for each of us to have a relationship with Him; and with any good relationship, there is mutual communication.  The Lord wants His children to hear Him from His word, to rejoice always, and to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16-17).

  • Singing

In the midst of the assembly, we will sing praise to God and will sing with the spirit, and will also sing with the understanding, speaking to ourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our heart to the Lord as we sing a capella (Hebrews 2:12, 1 Corinthians 14:15-16, Ephesians 5:19).

  • Public Teaching of God's Word

Each service is dedicated to giving attention to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine with a belief that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness that the children of God may be perfect, and thoroughly furnished unto all good works (1 Timothy 4:13, 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

  • The Lord's Supper

The focus of the Sunday morning worship assembly is the observance of the Lord's Supper.  Having given His life for the redemption of mankind, Jesus has asked us to remember Him as we commune around His table.  This observance follows Jesus' example as recorded in Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:14 and 1 Corinthians 11:23, using a single loaf of unleavened bread, representing the Lord's body, and a single cup containing the fruit of the vine, representing the New Covenant ratified by the blood of Jesus on the cross of Calvary.

  • The Collection

God gives instruction to His children to give or to lay by in store financial contributions on the first day of the week for the purpose of assisting other needy Christians and for spreading the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.  This act of worship is done each Sunday morning with a cheerful heart as we have been prospered as a result of God's blessings (1 Corinthians 16:1, 2 Corinthians 9:6).
