Sunday Morning 10 AM Worship Service (English)
The service begins with an organ prelude, a choral introit, and a responsive Call to Worship led by the lay liturgist. The congregation is invited to greet one another before hearing announcements about upcoming events.
The congregation moves into a time of prayer as they sing a quiet Prayer Song which leads us into a devotional time. There is a time for Silent Prayer, the Pastor offers prayers and then everyone shares in the Lord’s Prayer. The choir responds with a choral Amen. Our time of devotion continues as the Chancel Choir, one of the bell choirs or other special music provides the anthem.
We then shift into a time built around the message of the morning as the Liturgist reads the scripture that presents the theme of the message. Then Rev. Dickson shares a message, which brings the theme home for the congregation. After the message, the Choir responds with another the Offertory anthem, presenting the theme in a musical setting. And then the congregation stands to sing the Doxology and the Liturgist shares a prayer of devotion.The music, announcements, and sermon are also projected onto the screen behind the communion table.
*Communion is observed the first Sunday of every month. In the United Methodist church all are welcome to participate in communion
