SEAMLESS FLOW WORSHIP

As a body of believers meeting to worship our Lord each Lord's day, it is important that our worship is acceptable and beneficial to the body. Starting on Sunday, February 19, we will be instituting some changes with some of the order of our services. The reason for these changes is to have more of a seamless flow in our worship to God. Studies within the body have shown that a worship service that has a multitude of starts and stops or highs and lows, makes it very difficult for the congregation to remain connected; our aim is to keep the flow of the service building and moving in order to keep us all connected. We ask that the men who will be leading the congregation to please keep this in mind as you lead singing, prayers, read scripture and direct out minds in the communion service in order to help keep us all engaged in the worship service. We pray that you will be patient as we make these changes and that we will all make every effort to encourage one another in our worship of our Lord.

Vaughn Graham, Elder

(Starting on February 19, 2012, men who are leading any part of the service need to be down front before their time to lead in order to keep us all engaged in the worship service; our focus needs to be on worship and not on who is walking down the aisle. To those working in the sound booth, the song leaders will no longer be announcing song numbers, but instead will flow seamlessly from one song to the next, and your service is so crucial to our members as the song book is truly in our hands as you advance the Power Point slides for all of us.)
