Preliminary Announcement for a Different Sunday Worship

We are going to try something different next Sunday. You are all invited to come as usual to meet together as a fellowship united by the love of Jesus Christ but we are going to try to meet as those first Christians met together as described in Acts 2.

They didn’t do liturgy or orders of service. They didn’t have the hymns and songs of praise we use each Sunday. They didn’t have a minister or another appointed to lead the meeting and preach a sermon. They didn’t even have the New Testament of the Bible on which our faith is founded.

But, like us,  they had their faith. They had a personal knowledge of the love of God as revealed in the life, death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. And they came together to share that with one another. They shared what God was doing for them in their lives. They talked about the problems they were having living out their faith in a hostile world. They shared true fellowship.

Light refreshments will be served as part of the meeting and you are encouraged to invite friends and neighbours who might not normally come to church to join us for this special meeting.

Should you want to know more about what will happen on that morning and the thinking behind it please talk to insert contact details here.

“... they had their meals together in their homes, eating with glad and humble hearts, praising God, and enjoying the good will of all the people. And every day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved.”
