When should I be there?

Sundays: 10:30 am

 

What about my kids?  

During the summer months ( from Memorial Day until it gets too cold) we are encouraging families to worship together.  During the summer months we are outside at our Chapel in the Pines (unless the weather prohibits).  Being with your kids is a wonderful way to spend time as a family. Feel free to get up and move around as necessary.  And if your kids start to make noise, it's ok. We also have some picnic tables set up with activities for younger kids.


How long will I be there?  

Worship typically ends at about 11:30.  Sometimes we go a little longer.  Afterwards we have a casual time to hang out and enjoy some cookies and coffee.  

What do I wear?   

Come dressed however you feel comfortable - God will be here no matter what.

Come as casual or dressed up as you care, from blue jeans and flip flops to a dress or coat and tie.  You will see people wearing a wide range of attire.  And if you want to wear your State sweatshirt or U of M, both are welcome.

What happens during "worship"? 

There are many things that you will see every Sunday - worship through music, worship through giving, prayer, reading of the Bible and a teaching based on the Bible.  We also practice communion or The Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of the month.  There might also be times of people sharing what God is doing in their life.

What is expected of me during worship?  
We want you to experience God’s presence while you are here.  During our time together we want you to remember a couple of things:

First, we believe that you came our way because of God and it was not an accident.  We have prayed that that God would bring you our way, even if we didn't know you before.

Second, part of our service is when people give their offerings, as a way of practicing and living out their faith.  It is not “required” of anyone to give.

How should I worship?   

Worship is more about attitude and what is going on in our hearts than what we do with our bodies.  That being said, we want to encourage you to worship as you feel comfortable and led by God's Spirit.  That may mean raising your hands, kneeling, clapping, or even dancing.  What God is seeking and we encourage is for your worship to be genuine.

What is the music like?    top

Describing music is always difficult because we all have different ideas of what words mean.  So, while some may describe our music as "contemporary" others might say it's not.  So, rather than try and label it, here is a little bit about our music:

  • We typically have a  band with keyboards, guitar, percussion, and vocalists but sometimes it's a little more low-key.
  • We seek to draw on  the richness of Christian heritage and tradition so we sing not only the latest music but also older hymns and songs.
  • You will also hear occasionally from  individuals performing solos as a musical offering.
  • One way to see is just check out some of our previous services on Facebook: Previous Livestreams
