What to Expect @ Rockvale
What to Expect @ Rockvale
We want you to feel comfortable in our worship service, so let us give you an idea of what to expect. You are our honored guest. Services usually last about 60 minutes and contain elements from the following:
Singing
Congregational singing plays a prominent role in our worship. We hope that you find our worship in song to be uplifting and glorifying to God.
Communion
Each Sunday we observe the Lord's Supper. As we eat the bread and drink the fruit of the vine, we share in the death, burial , and resurrection of our Lord Jesus and we are reminded of the great love God has for us. We invite our guests to join us in this time of thanksgiving.
Prayer
At various times in the service we will be led, as a group, in prayer by a member. If you have a need for prayer please let us know and we will add your request to our prayer list.
Sermon
The lesson is usually presented by our pulpit minister. You may notice that our minister does not wear special clothes. We address our ministers using their names, without any religious titles
Responding/Family Prayer Time
Usually, at the conclusion of the sermon, a song is sung and a time of open invitation is offered for anyone desiring the prayers of the congregation or to be baptized into Christ.
Contribution
During the service, our members are given the opportunity to contribute money in support of the ministries of this church. Guests are not expected to place money in the plate passed around during this time.
