Sunday morning at First Christian begins
with J.O.Y. Worship in the Discipleship Center at 9:00 a.m. The J.O.Y.
acronym is taken from our Amish brothers and sisters—Jesus first; Others
next; Yourself last. Jesus is our Master, Teacher, and Lord; he’s the
one we’re attempting to follow as we relate to God and our neighbor.
The J.O.Y. service is led by the Worship
Band, several ministers, and lay people. This worship hour is simple,
direct, and energetic; praise songs, choruses, upbeat hymns, community
highlights, a scripture lesson and message, prayer time, and communion
are parts of worship. All of these items are enhanced with wonderful
visual effects and a coffee bar with pastries, doughnuts and other
goodies.
This worship hour concludes in about 50
to 55 minutes just prior to our church school hour of teaching and
fellowship. Come to J.O.Y.!
At 10:00 a.m. First Christian has classes
each Sunday morning for kids, youth, and adults for teaching and
learning the faith. Follow the link to the left to learn more about
these various classes and groups. These gatherings offer people
Christian fellowship, friendship, and opportunities for growing our
Christian faithfulness. This is a great way to get to know people and
to know better the Lord we are following.
Traditional Worship at First Christian
begins at 11:00 a.m. and takes place in the sanctuary. Organ, robed
choir, acolytes, elders and deacons and various lay participants,
set a more formal atmosphere. Children are included with a
children’s moment before they have the opportunity to recess to
Children’s Worship in the Discipleship Center. Special music,
prayer and communion, scripture and message help connect traditional
worshippers to God. Come be with us if this style of worship suits
your preference; we’d enjoy having you with us.
