Entering Sanctuary–
As you arrive please greet and visit with others.
While the pastor is welcoming you, extend that welcome to others by signing and
passing the Welcome Pad and then pray for one another in your pew.
When prelude instrumental music is played following the welcome, we ask late
comers to remain outside the sanctuary as others are praying to prepare for their
worship of God. Please enter during the first congregational song.
Hearing aids and large print bulletins are available. Request them from an usher.
Communion is open to all who put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

worship, you can preview the bulletin and mark the pages in the hymnal that will be
used or you can follow along with the words on the PowerPoint screen to your left.
Bibles – You are encouraged to bring your own. You may, however, pick up a Revised
Standard Version as you enter the sanctuary either from the narthex or the hallway leading
in from Geneva Hall. You may wish to have the text in front of you as you hear the scripture
read and preached..

orally, you can write it on this card. An usher will pick it up and give it to the
pastor.

“We reach up to God in prayer and
praise.” Our worship draws upon the
Biblical tradition of God’s people
assembling for praise, prayer, and
instruction—then going out to share the
joys and responsibilities of an informed
discipleship. There is a rhythm here of
gathering and dispersing. As the body
of Christ, we inhale his love in worship
and exhale his love in service. We use
a variety of forms and styles of worship.
But the goal remains the same: to
proclaim the good news of salvation
and to invite all who hear to follow and
serve Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
In our tradition we have never been able
to exalt God without being made
conscious of—not in a condemning, but
in a cleansing way—our own sin. A
prayer confessing our sins and asking
forgiveness follows our opening praise
of God’s holiness. We observe two
sacraments: Baptism, which celebrates
God’s grace in washing away our sins
and welcoming us into his family, and
the Lord’s Supper, which celebrates
Christ’s sacrificial death and
resurrection and renews our place
within his family.
