Divine Service<br />
8 a.m. Sundays. Divine<br />
service gets its name<br />
from the fact that worship<br />
is most importantly God<br />
serving us. We come at his<br />
invitation not to do God a<br />
favor, but to receive from<br />
Him what He alone has<br />
to offer, after which we<br />
respond in praise. Divine<br />
service uses a variety of<br />
rich, beautiful and often<br />
ancient traditions of the<br />
church found in the hymnal<br />
accompanied by the<br />
organ, as well as piano and<br />
other various instruments<br />
on special occasions.<br />
Sunday Morning Adult<br />
Bible Study<br />
9:30-10:30 a.m. Sundays<br />
in the fellowship hall. Sunday<br />
Morning Adult Bible<br />
Study will explore the Gospel<br />
of Matthew during this<br />
fall. The Gospel of Matthew<br />
serves as the “door”<br />
into the New Testament.<br />
Come for refreshments<br />
and join the discussion on<br />
subjects like parables, discipleship,<br />
judgment day,<br />
heaven, God’s promises,<br />
and so much more.<br />
10:46 Worship<br />
10:46 a.m. Sundays.<br />
10:46 Worship gets its<br />
name from Acts 10:46,<br />
where it mentions that the<br />
apostles “heard the Gentiles<br />
speaking in tongues<br />
and praising God” – which<br />
could well describe this<br />
time of worship where<br />
God is present and his people<br />
are responding. 10:46<br />
Worship blends the best of<br />
both ancient tradition and<br />
modern music and instruments<br />
recognizing the ongoing,<br />
present-day work of<br />
the Holy Spirit in our lives.<br />
Beginning at 10:46 a.m.<br />
also suggests a more casual<br />
worship where you’re<br />
invited to come just as you<br />
are.<br />
