What to expect when you worship with us:
We gather to worship God each Sunday morning and Sunday evening. We also have classes for all ages after the Sunday morning assembly and on Wednesday evening (as well as a few other specialized classes throughout the weeks!).
Our worship assembly patterns the activities and forms of Christ’s church when it was first established. In those assemblies, Acts 20:7 records that the Christians gathered on the first day of the week to break bread; we therefore break bread on the first day of each week by eating the bread and drinking the cup as Christ commanded we do in remembrance of Him.
We are commanded to sing songs of praise to God and to lift each other up by singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Since vocal praise is commanded, and since there is no mention of the church using mechanical instruments as part of their worship (for several hundred years), and since no request is made by God for the use of musical accompaniment to be offered in our worship to Him, we follow that example by praising God and lifting each other up with only our voices.
We see many examples of prayer to God and teaching taking place among the Christians of the first century, and these are part of our worship time together as well. Additionally, we “lay aside,” as Paul suggests the Christians do in 1 Corinthians 16, a portion of the many blessings that God has given us to help support the work of spreading the gospel.
All of these ‘acts’ are parts of our worship to God. We are blessed to be in a country that allows us to freely worship Jehovah, and are honored to gather together to offer our worship of praise to Him. We hope you too will desire to worship our great and wonderful God, and invite you to join us.
