Worship
Each Sunday we gather for worship at 9:30am. We begin together in the sanctuary for prayer and songs of praise. After a special music selection there is a children’s message. Then the kids and their teachers go to the Fellowship Hall for Sunday School for kids ages 3-12. (For info on Sunday School, please contact Snookie Patterson, (518)828-3503 to get on the Sunday School email list)
There is a nursery for little ones in the Fellowship Hall as well. The service continues in the sanctuary with scripture readings, sermon, sharing of joys and prayer concerns, the offering of gifts, and a benediction/blessing.
We all meet up afterwards in the fellowship hall for light refreshments and conversation. (In the summer we gather on the patio). The service lasts about an hour.
We celebrate the sacrament of communion on the first Sunday of every month, Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday. Our Communion is open to all who believe in Jesus and have chosen to follow Him.
On the first Sunday of every month there is a food collection for the local food pantries. Other missions chosen by the Mission Committee are highlighted each month such as the CROP walk for hunger, Onesies collection for needy infants in the local hospitals, and Souper Bowl Day of Sharing. We also provide monetary support for missionaries Rev. Brad and Robin Kautz who serve the Jicarilla Reformed Church on the reservation in Dulce, New Mexico.
