| · What happens during worhsip services? As a visitor to the Broad Street Church of Christ we want you to feel welcomed. Your level of participation in our worship service is up to you. When you visit a Sunday morning worship service you can expect to find the following:
Singing Various songs of praise and encouragement will be lead by a song leader. The song titles and numbers are listed in the order of worship you received as you entered the auditorium as well as displayed on an overhead screen. Our singing is congregational and a cappella (without musical instruments.)
Prayer There will be several prayers lead during the service. Our Shepherd's prayer, lead by one of our Elders, is a petition for the specific needs and requests of the church.
Preaching The preacher will talk approximately twenty minutes. He bears no special title and wears no special vestments since the Bible calls all members to the priesthood and considers all to be equal. The preaching will be Bible-centered.
Invitation At the close of the sermon the preacher will extend an invitation to provide the opportunity for anyone in need to publicly respond.
Lord's Supper Each Sunday morning we observe this ceremony established by Jesus and practiced by the early church. It is designed to focus our minds on the sacrifice of Christ. Often, someone will speak a few minutes before the Lord's Supper is served in order to direct the congregation's thought toward Christ and his sacrifice.
Offering As our guest, you are not expected to contribute. Feel free to pass the collection plate down the row. [ Back to Top ]
