The Ways of Worship to God

Services to be plain, simple and Bible-oriented.

Singing. Singing is a meaningful a part of any "worship service."   As we sing, we blend our voices in 
praise to God and build up and encourage one another (Hebrews 13:15; Ephesians 5:19-20).  Our singing 
is "a cappella," that is we sing without musical accompaniment. It may seem a bit unusual at first, but we 
believe you will be impressed when you listen to the sweet melodies of praise. The instrument that we use 
in our singing is “the heart” (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16). In this, as in all things, we try to please 
God, not ourselves.

Preaching. The early Christians also "were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching . . ."  
(Acts 2:42).  "The apostles' teaching" is now our New Testament. Preaching is a powerful medium of 
communication. Our "evangelist" or "preacher" seeks to speak only "the utterances of God" ( 1 Peter 4:
11). The gospel of Jesus Christ is "the power of God for salvation" (Romans 1:16); therefore, that will be 
his main message.

The Lord's Supper. Another activity in which the early disciples continually devoted themselves was "the 
breaking of bread."  We understand this to be "communion" or "the Lord's Supper."  The early church did 
this upon the first day of the week (Acts 20:7). The Lord's supper is a memorial feast that proclaims "the 
Lord's death until He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:26). The Lord's Supper is a simple memorial consisting of 
unleavened bread representing the Lord's body and grape juice representing the Lord's blood. These 
were simple elements that were given by the Lord Himself the night He was betrayed (1 Corinthians 11:23-
26).  

Prayer. The early Christians "were continually devoting themselves . . .to prayer" (Acts 2:42). For that 
reason, we too, engage in prayer to the Father. Prayer is powerful. It enables us to enter the very throne 
room of God (Hebrews 4:16). There we can find "grace to help us in time of need."  We pray for one 
another, for the sick, for those who proclaim the gospel, and for our governmental leaders.  

Giving. The Apostle Paul instructed the Christians at Corinth and at Galatia to take up a collection "on the 
first day of every week" (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). This was to support the needy saints and the preaching of 
the gospel. The members of our congregation contribute willingly and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7) every 
Lord’s Day as each determines in his heart. No other collections are made.

Our aim is to become like Jesus and get to know Him and to help others come to know Jesus as well. We 
invite you to join us in our quest. We meet each Lord's Day at 9:30 A.M. for Bible Study and at 10:30 A.M. 
for worship. Won't you join us?
