Sunday Services

 

 

We gather to worship the Lord every Sunday at 11:00 AM.  All visitors are welcome!

·        Recordings of the service are available to shut-ins (contact the church office).

·        Hearing aids are available for those who need them.

·        Beepers are available for parents leaving their children in the nursery.

·        Children from 2 years of age through 4th grade attend the first part of the worship service and go to their own services after the children's message.  (2 - 4 year olds to the 2 - 3 year old room, and Kindergarten - 4th grade to the Traylor Fellowship classroom)

Children's Church

Kindergarten – 4th graders:  Mimi Johnson has been nurturing and teaching our children for years.  They meet every Sunday but communion Sundays.  Your child will not want to miss being with "Miss Mimi"

There is a three-year rotation of learning in children's church.  This year the group will learn about the Shorter Catechism.  There will be some memorization, but more time will be spent on trying to understand and be familiar with some of our church doctrines.  The Ten Commandments will be learned thoroughly.  (If you have children who have done this, just ask them to tell you!!)  The last part of the year will be reading and talking about Pilgrim's Progress (The Dangerous Journey).

The second year in the rotation will be all about Worship.  The children will learn how to worship and how to praise God.  Much of their time will be spent learning and singing praise and worship songs.  They will learn about communion, the Apostle's Creed, and the Lord's Prayer.

The third year is a 'walk through the Bible'.  The books of the Old and New Testament will be memorized.  Old Testament stories and where they come from will be taught!  Ask one of our older youth where you might find the story of Samson?  If they have been to our children's church regularly they should know.

If you have any questions Mimi will be glad to talk with you.  This is her calling and ministry (one of them), and we are thankful for you Mimi!!
