PLAN YOUR VISIT
What you’d want to know before Friday, without having to ask.
Where to park, where to go in, what actually happens, and how long it lasts.
PARKING
The church parking lot
The same lot everyone else uses. It is never full on a Friday evening.
ENTRANCE
The main entrance
At the front of the building, straight in. There is no side entrance to find.
TIMING
Fridays at 7:00 pm
We are usually done between 8:00 and 8:15. Nobody minds a late arrival.
DRESS
Whatever you own
Some dress up, most do not. Nobody will look twice.
How a Friday evening runs
The same people, most weeks, doing the same handful of things together.
We are a small church, so a new face does get noticed. What does not happen is being pointed out: visitors are not introduced from the front and you will not be asked to stand up.
There is no offering. We do not pass a basket, which is one of the first things newcomers ask about, and a visitor is never expected to give anything.

6:50
People arrive Most of us get here not long before we start. Park in the church parking lot and come in at the main entrance, at the front.
-
7:00
We begin together Time to greet one another, then prayer, then a few songs.
-
then
Scripture, and the sermon We read the Bible together, and the sermon runs about thirty minutes.
-
then
Communion, then a closing prayer Communion is every Friday: people go down to the front to take it, families usually together, while the worship team sings. The bread and the cup are for baptized believers in Christ. If that is not you, stay in your seat; you are welcome here either way. The evening closes in prayer.
-
8:15
Most people stay a while Afterward most people stay about half an hour, catching up. Leaving right after the closing prayer is just as normal.
COMING WITH CHILDREN
Noise is not a problem here.
Children are welcome to stay with you for the whole evening, and plenty do. There is a nursery if you would rather, and children through third grade can go down to the children’s Bible class. Part-way through we pray for the children, and any who would like to can go down with a parent.
