Service Structure
The service runs for about 1 hour.
A typical service includes the following elements:
- The Ministers and Warden will appear on the stage, and the congregation stands.
- We sing 2-3 hymns; (if you don’t feel comfortable singing, or don’t know the hymns, you can just stand with us and observe);
- Following the prayer book, we read the daily verses of Scripture, and praying a Prayer of Preparation and the Collect for the day.
- We hear the Bible read;
- We stand together as we declare what we believe in the words of a common creed;
- We hear the Bible passage explained and applied to our lives (usually around 20 mins);
- We often hear a short update from one of the ministry areas of our church;
- We participate in Holy Communion.
