Worship
Children's Worhsip Service Each Sunday we offer a Children's Worship Service. This service is designed to help the younger members of our congregation have a meaningful Worship experience. There are Bible based lessons, lesson based crafts and games the help to reinforce the lesson of the day. Nursery Each Sunday a nursery is open for young ones 0-24 months, Even at this early age we offer ways for these little ones to feel the love of Christ in their lives. We hope to help them begin a life of knowing the Love that Christ gives to them.
1 Corinthians 12:12-1312 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. KJV
Stain Glass Window and Wood Carving
Stained Glass Window
The Cross is the dominant symbol in the window. By it people who worship are reminded of the Sacrifice of Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. The Crown of Thorns circles the Greek Symbol for Christ at the top of the cross. This symbol reminds Christians that Jesus Christ suffered in their place. Bunches of grapes near the horizontal beam of the cross symbolize the shed blood of Christ and at the bottom of the cross stalks of grain symbolize His body. These symbols are focused in the bread and wine of Holy Communion where Christians receive the very real presence of Jesus Christ.
Water flowing from a sea shell cascades down the vertical beam of the cross symbolizes Holy Baptism in which God acts to supernaturally adopt naturally born human beings into His eternal family. The Dove at the very top of the cross is a symbol of the HOLY SPIRIT. He is the person of God who draws us to Christ, establishes us in faith and teaches us how to live out our belief.
This beautiful teaching window was provided by memorial gifts from the living to celebrate their memories of loved ones already with the Lord in heaven.
Wood Carving
A beautiful old wood carving of Jesus on the cross looking down at his Mother on one side and the beloved apostle John on the other reminds us of Jesus words from the cross addressing his concern that his mother continue to be cared for (John 19:26-27).
