SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE
Sunday morning service is time for worship and instruction.
​
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
If it's your first visit here's some useful information:
​​
-
Starts at 10:30am and finishes at 11:30am
-
No particular dress code
-
Hymn books and bibles are in the pews
-
There's a comfy cushion on each pew
-
You can sit in the main body or in the side wings
-
Choir sits in front of the pulpit so you might want to avoid that
If you are unsure of where to sit or want to sit with someone you know then tell someone in the entrance and they can guide you in.
​

After the service ends there is an opportunity to meet the minister at the entrance. If you want to discuss further what you heard or anything else just make this known and you can arrange a time to meet.

Hymns are from either the traditional hymn book or Mission Praise book. There is a pipe organ or piano accompaniment (depending on the whim of the organist) and occasionally additional instruments.
​
The evening service follows a similar format at 7:00pm. Check Evening Service for more details about location as it is alternated twice a month with Pomeroy Presbyterian Church.
