Doing Church Differently

image32

We Are The Church

While we are all asked to physically distance ourselves, we want to socially stay close!  During this time we will have to "do church" differently.  The building is not the church His people are, so no matter if we gather together or separately we are still one big church family.

What Will This Look Like?

As fluid as the pandemic situation is, so we will have to be with our plans.   We will try to communicate with you the best we can what we are doing.  We will post on our App, on Facebook and here.   Here is what we are planning now:

Sunday Morning - 10 am

Join Us Starting at 9:30

We will be live streaming starting at 9:30 am on Facebook.  Please join us there or HERE!  


We will still post the audio of the sermon on our website.  You can watch or listen to both anytime after Sunday.

WATCH HERE ON SUNDAYS

Coffee & Chat Time Starts at 9:30 am on Sundays

Some might say that the best part of Sunday Service is the coffee visiting time before and after the service!  We want to still have that as best we can.  We are starting the live streaming 30 minutes before church starts so we can "talk" in the comments.  Unlike "regular" church, we can even keep talking during the sermon - they can't see it!  You will have to make your own coffee - and cookies!

Praise & Worship

We will still start our service with a shortened time of singing.  It may be led by someone - or we may play worship videos.  We know singing is a great way to start a worship service.  As The Gospel Coalition says, " There’s no escaping the fact that singing is a vital form of praise. Many Scriptures (particularly the psalms) bear this out. Not only do they link praise directly with singing, but they also frequently speak of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of praise, adoration, and declaration, in virtually the same breath."

Raising Kids To Follow God

 We want to help parents raise kids who love God and love others.  Join our Facebook Group -we have weekly videos and questions that you can use whenever you want - not just on Sunday mornings.  Plus the Group is a safe place where we can talk and grow together as we raise our kids to know the love and grace of Jesus.

Hopefully, we have all been praying during  this pandemic, but we want to try using the "Praying" part of the You Version Bible App
