What to Expect During Our Worship Services

Worship, Praise & Greeting
We start off our service with worship and praise for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. During this time we sing, welcome those around us, read from the scriptures and pray. Song lyrics are displayed on the screens above the baptistry in front of the church. Don’t worry if you don’t know the songs, none of us knew the songs at first, either.

Communion
As a believer in Jesus Christ, you are invited to share in the Lord’s Supper. When you receive the trays, please take the bread and the cup, then pass them on. After a period of meditation, partake in your own time. Please place the cup in the holder in front of you.

Meditation & Prayer (usually led by an Elder or guest speaker)

Offering
This is a time to share with the church financially. It is a way to thank God for God’s blessings. If you are a visitor, don’t feel that you have to contribute — the only gift we’d like from you is your Communication Card. Consider this service our gift to you!

Message in Song (usually performed by our Praise Band or Choir)

Sermon (usually led by Marshall Hayden)

Invitation
We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. If you believe that also, and have not made your public profession of faith and been buried with Christ in baptism (immersed as a penitent believer), you are invited to step forward and take that stand. If you have taken these stands of faith in another place and wish to transfer your membership and influence to Worthington Christian Church, we welcome you.

Family Time
This is a time when prayer needs are presented and/or special events are announced. The service is closed with a word of prayer and a song of praise.
