Communion: The Lords Supper, is a time of self-evaluation and reflection on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. All Christians are invited to participate in the feast. It is our custom to partake of the emblems as they are passed; however, if you wish to hold yours until you are ready, please feel free to do so.
Offering: Our offering is another way to express our commitment and to share in the many ministries carried out by First Church of Christ.
Invitation: Those desiring to be baptized, transfer membership, or make other decisions for Christ may come to the front of the auditorium during this song time. Prior notification is not necessary. Baptismal garments are provided.
