Sunday Worship Gathering
First Thing's First.
As you enter the building, the main sanctuary will be on your right. Straight ahead you will find the nursery and rest rooms. Help yourself to a cup of coffee in the visiting area.
What happens during our gathering?
Our worship service follows what is called covenant renewal worship. That's a fancy way of saying that our service is meant to be shaped by the gospel. We begin with call to worship and opening prayer. Then we sing together songs of adoration, confession, and atonement. The teaching will be gospel-centered Bible exposition followed by the Lord's Supper and a closing Benediction. Feel free to catch up on our sermons. The Worship Gathering will last about 75 minutes.
What about my children?
We have a toddler nursery staffed with great people. Your youngsters will have snacks and plenty to do to keep them busy. There is also an infant cry room for your use whenever you're here and the service can still be heard in the lobby if necessary. However, your children are welcome in our time of worship. We believe the best thing for them is to be part of church life from a young age and see dad and mom and a host of others worshiping their King (and they pick up a lot more than you might think)! Don't worry about causing distractions...children are a beautiful grace given to us by God and we love hearing them worship with us!
What do I wear?
There is no dress code. Dress ranges from shirt & tie to T-shirt & jeans, but any modest clothing will be fine.
What happens after the gathering?
After the gathering, please feel free to stay and visit for a while. There is typically a lot of coffee consumed and conversation happening. It's a great time for us to get to know one another better.
WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU!
We don't want anyone to be lost, out of place, or confused during our Sunday Worship Gatherings. We want you to be able to lift up your voice in praise to the Lord with us. So, here are some of the songs you'll hear while worshiping with us at Hillside.
