New Experimental Sunday Morning Schedule
Beginning June 10
We will begin our experimental schedule a week from Sunday that will be evaluated for reconsideration in November. The Sunday morning schedule will be as follows:
Worship:
8:00 a.m. featuring the old songs
Chapel
9:00 a.m. Traditional/Blended worship
Sanctuary
10:30 a.m. Contemporary worship
Worship Center (old fellowship hall)
Sunday School:
8:00-8:50 a.m. Adult classes
9:15-10:15 a.m. Children's Sunday School and Adult classes
10:10-11:00 p.m. Adult classes
Sunday School
Existing Sunday School classes and short term courses will be offered at various times, to be announced in the next two or three weeks. Most groups will meet at either 9:15 a.m., (for people attending the 10:30 worship) or after the traditional/blended worship service (10:10 a.m.) Classes will also have the option of meeting at 8 a.m. As soon as classes
notify
us of the times they will meet, we will publish that information.
We will be organizing people in the next two weeks to help us launch this experiment. Our new needs are for people at the door (on 16th Street), greeting at the entrance to our worship services, ushering, and helping with the breakfast in the worship center. We will continue to need people to help with the fellowship cafe, the Audio/Visual desks, clean-up, and music.
