Bible Classes and AM Worship

Dec 31 1969 - 4:00pm
Jun 26 2011 - 11:30am

We offer Bible classes in English for everyone from newborns to however old you are. We also have class and worship in ASL for adult and high school students.

Our classes are designed and conducted to keep the students' attention, teach on each level about God's love, the sacredness of the Holy Bible, how He cares for us, the sacrifce that Jesus made for us, and what we need to know to please Him and go to Heaven.

We welcome and encourage you to attend the class that has been prepared just for you. You will find a warm welcome from the moment you walk in the door.

If you need transportation to Bible class and worship, please call us at 272-7584 and press the prompt for the Care-A-Van.

We look forward to seeing you next Sunday.

Morning Worship

Dec 31 1969 - 4:00pm
Jul 24 2011 - 11:30am

The auditorium where we worship is to your left as you enter our building. You may sit anywhere you choose.

Our greeters can direct you to our attended nursery for children who have not yet reached their 3rd birthday.

We have congregational singing without mechanical instruments and we invite everyone to participate.

The preacher doesn't have a title and he won't wear any special clothing to set him apart. We think you will find what he has to say to be refreshingly relevant and Bible-centered.

At the close of each sermon the preacher will invite those who wish to do so to step to the front to request prayers or to be baptized. He will not single you out in any way so don't feel ill at ease during this time. If anyone responds for baptism, you will witness the baptism during the service. 

If you visit on a Sunday morning, the Lord's Supper will be part of the worship. Men will pass plates containing unleavened bread and trays of small cups of grape juice. Those who wish to do so may break off a small piece of the bread and drink the contents of one of the cups. In addition, the same men will pass the plates to collect the weekly offering. If you do not choose to participate in any of these, just pass the plate or tray to the person next to you.

So what is expected of you when you visit our assemblies? Nothing at all! You are welcome to participate, but don't feel obligated. We do ask you to fill out a visitor's card so that we can appropriately thank you for your visit.

 

Deaf Bible class & Morning Worship in ASL

Dec 31 1969 - 4:00pm
Dec 4 2011 - 11:30am

Every person learns in his/her own language. God has blessed this congregation with three ministers. One of them, Andrew Deuschle, is deaf. Each Sunday morning Andrew teaches a Bible class and follows that  by preaching during a worship service. Both are conducted in American Sign Language, the language of the Deaf.  

If you need transportation to Bible class and worship, please call us at 272-7584 by noon on Friday. If you call after 4:30 PM press the prompt for the Care-A-Van and leave a message.

If you are deaf and would like to worship and learn in your own language, we would welcome you to come worship with us.

Worship at Spring Creek

Aug 9 2010 - 12:56am
God is richly blessing our prison ministry as we conduct a weekly worship service at Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward. There are currently five men there that have surrendered their lives to God through baptism.
Our brother Jessie Killgore makes the three-hour drive to Seward on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of every month to take God's Word to the inmates that want to hear God's message. For our five brothers who reside at Spring Creek it is an oppurtunity to worship according to the New Testament pattern and to fellowship with one another and the person who goes into their world to further teach them.
Dave Olson goes in on the 2nd Sunday. Please pray for Jessie  and for Dave as they continue this work.
