The Shape of Our Service

Our services can be divided in two halves. The first part focuses on God’s Word (the Bible). God speaks through the reading of his Word, and his Good News (the Gospel) is proclaimed to us who are lost, suffering, weak, or sin-sick. The second part focuses on the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper (or Communion). This is another way of proclaiming the Gospel. We hear the story of Jesus death for us, and that he wants to live in us. As we respond with faith in Christ, eating and drinking in remembrance of him, we are powerfully reminded that we are people who need something from outside ourselves to save us. We leave church assured of his grace and refreshed by his power in us.
