“Church Service?”
Church services are central to the life of the church. Basically a church service is when the church (meaning the people) gather together to worship God and to encourage one another. Worship services take different forms from church to church, some are very lively and others are more reflective and prayerful.. We hope the descriptions of our services will help you choose which one is best for you .
“Communion?”
The communion service otherwise known as Eucharist (Thanksgiving), or Lord’s Supper is the service where Christians gather round the Lord’s table and share communion as Christ commanded. Bread and wine are offered to each Christian to eat. They are symbols of Christ’s body broken and His blood shed on the cross for our sins. In communion we remember Christ’s death for us and his indwelling through the Holy Spirit.
