Communion every Sunday                                       Services and Facilities
Sunday Worship Service begins at 10:50 am

Each Sunday morning,

...about 9 am, you will find folks gathered in the Assembly Hall (Education Building), enjoying lemonade or coffee, chatting and visiting with one another.  At 9:15 am we begin a short, informal opening session.  We make our pledges to our American and Christian flags, sing a couple of songs, mention any special praise or prayer needs, announce the upcoming week of birthdays or anniversaries, followed by singing a Happy Birthday or Happy Anniversary song.  Sunday School follows the end of this opening exercise.

Open Door Class    9:30 am

This class is for mostly older people, but visitors of all ages are always welcome.  This class includes an interesting and open study of the Bible, which follows a short discussion of any class business or prayer requests within the group.   Current events, religious significance and a strong sense of fellowship bind the attendees, young and old, in the teachings of Jesus Christ. The class always ends with the circle prayer, "May the Lord watch between me and thee, while we are absent, one from the other."

Fellowship Class   9:30 am

 This class has a range of ages from twenties to fifties. This class is a Bible study with focus on scripture through topical study or passage and verse. Sources used for study are from contemporary authors, study guides and the Bible. We use bible study guides to give us more understanding of the scriptures. Personal relationships develop through our walk together. Good Fellowship, and you're invited!

Worship Enhancement 

Personal hearing devices are available in the church narthex during all regularly scheduled worship services. In addition, the morning worship is taped (audio cassette) each week and is available to shut-ins and others who desire to hear God's word but are unable to attend the service.
