A New Worship Schedule Beginning on July 6th and 7th
Saturday Night Worship will still begin at 6PM. However, the congregation can expect to be challenged by Pastor Dale to create a Vision for the future and a path to realize that Vision. He will not be participating in each Saturday Night Service.
Sunday will begin with an “Informal Worship Service” in the Chapel at 8:15AM. Worship will be piano led and will be a maximum of 40 to 45 minutes.
From 8:55 to 9:15AM will be a “Time of Fellowship”. This will provide an opportunity for the Early Birds to mingle with those arriving for either Contemporary Worship or for the first Sunday School hour.
At 9:15AM, the opportunities are:
A) Contemporary/Modern Worship Service will be led by the Praise Team in the Fellowship Hall
B) Adult Sunday School
C) Children’s Sunday School – During the Summer, construction will be underway for the new children’s area which is due to be completed in the Fall. Therefore, the locations for the Children’s Sunday School rooms will be relocated to other areas. Details will be provided by July.
From 10:15 to 10:45AM will be a “Time of Fellowship” as the adults come from worship or class and mingle with those arriving for the second Sunday School hour or the “Traditional Worship Service”.
At 10:45AM, the opportunities include:
A) Traditional Worship Service will be led by the Choir in the Sanctuary
B) Adult Sunday School
C) Children’s Worship/Discovery Hour – During the Summer, construction will be underway for the new children’s area which is due to be completed in the Fall. Therefore, the locations for the Children’s Sunday School rooms will be relocated to other areas. Details will be provided by July.
Fifth Sunday of every month Blended Worship Experience
The challenges we must overcome together include, our ability to enlist a sufficient number of volunteers to cover 2 1/2 hours in the Children’s Sunday School/Worship. Rest assured there is no intention to have our volunteers serve the full 2 1/2 hours. Please let Kristin Titzell know as soon as possible if you are willing to be on the Children’s Ministry Team.
Current Adult Sunday School Classes will decide which hour is best for them. It is understood some classes will need to become two separate classes due to the changes in worship service times.
However, Pastor Dale challenges those classes to consider “Seeding” new classes and also to consider becoming a “Life Group”, meeting at another time and location to continue to nurture relationships with one another.
It’s Time to “Get on Board” and get ready to help make this work as a family.
Please remember to wear your Name Badge. This will help Pastor Dale and Tami assimilate quickly into our Church Family.
