8:30 am Amazing Grace

Contemporary)

 

     Amazing Grace is a contemporary worship gathering held in the church sanctuary every Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m.  Worship is based on a message by Pastor Larry and lots of contemporary praise and worship music.  An extended time of singing is lead by one of our Praise Teams Communion by intinction is available the first Sunday of the month.  Dress is casual, comfortable (you'll see shorts when it's hot!).  And if you're not used to going to church, don't worry!   We use a large projection screen (just like at the movies), where we show the song lyrics, occasional movie clips, and PowerPoint enhanced messages to help you feel more comfortable.

     This gang is amazed at the power of God - in our worship as we enter into the holiest place of God and by the mighty works God is doing in our midst.  If you haven't heard, people are finding God here.   Lives are being changed!   One warning: God loves you just as you are, but God loves you too much to leave you that way.  What mighty work will God do in your life?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

9:45 am Celebration Service

(Convergent)

\

The Celebration Service is truly a celebration! This high-energy, fast-moving service is a convergence of the very best of all worship styles:

Y                    The great hymns of the faith are sung along with the most spiritual contemporary worship songs. The music may be accompanied by a CD, by a piano, or an organ, or a keyboard, drums and other instrumentalists.

Y                    Any given week you may pray the very payer Jesus taught his disciples to pray 2000 years ago, or join in sharing a prayer for the hungry and needy of the world today.

Y                    Music is central to the joy of this service as the Celebration Choir leads the church family in singing. Each month the “Cherubs” bring smiles to our faces and the Youth Choir generates applause to God for their efforts. And, you won’t want to miss the guest appearances of the “HIMS of Faith,” a group of men who are so dynamic you just have to hear them for yourself.

Y                    Nursery and Sunday School are provided for children during the service, although children are always welcomed as shown in the number of baptisms that frequently bless us as a growing church family.

Y                    At this service you will see, hear, and experience it all: Silence blends into laughter. Videos fade into singing. Movie clips enhance Pastor Larry’s sermons. Even the best of the media is use to glorify God.

If you haven’t figured it out, yet, the key to the Celebration service is that it is a “Convergent Service,” where the best we have to offer is used, simply, to glorify God; where the convergence of our faith connects with the awesome presence of God. The point where everything intersects is the stuff of miracles as God moves in our hearts and lives.

You are invited to come… to witness His power, and experience His presence
