Norwalk Christian Church offers three different worship experiences:
|
Informal - 8:30 AM Sunday
This service is considered "casual" and this
refers to the attire as well as tone. Worshippers gather
to a piano prelude and open with a sung call to worship.
The congregation selects hymns from our hymnal and praise
book. The pastor speaks without a microphone from the
middle of the floor. Participants come forward to give
their offering and receive communion. A closing circle
concludes the worship service.
|

|
Traditional - 10:30 AM Sunday
This service is considered "traditional" and
contains elements such as a responsive call to worship,
traditional hymns, and a sung Doxology. The children
come forward for a children's message and a choir or
special music is part of worship. The scripture and
sermon are delivered from the pulpit. Offering trays
are passed, as is Communion, by our Diaconate.
|

|
The Gathering - 6:00 PM Sunday
The praise-style music, with guitars and drums, is a
distinguishing characteristic of this worship experience.
The intimate setting of fellowship hall and emphasis
on fellowship also sets this service apart. Participants
come to the table for communion and offering. The service
includes a prayer circle and shares in monthly potlucks.
|

|
Combined Worship
Occasionally there are times when we have a combined
Sunday morning worship service at 10:00 AM. Combined
services are publicized in the current newsletter, on
the church sign, and in the Sunday bulletin.
Here are the scheduled combined worship service dates for
2006.
September 3 -- Combined (Labor Sunday)
November 5 -- Combined (Annual Congregational meeting)
|
All of our worship services include the Lord's Supper, Prayer,
Scripture, Sermon, and utilize the lay leadership of our elders.
We can baptize, dedicate infants, and receive people into membership
at all three services. At Norwalk Christian Church we firmly believe
that it's not how you worship, but that you worship.
Child Care
Child care is available for the Informal and Traditional
worship services.

Fellowship Coffee
The coffeepot is on and refreshments are served following
every worship service. Everyone is encouraged to share in
fellowship with one another after each service. |
