Order of Worship
Drive-In and more
Grace and peace to all God's people as we assemble
for worship, both at the church parking lot & at home alike.
Links for those worshiping at home will be sent on Sunday.
This is coming out a little early, as Pastor Jeff drives back from Indiana today; we plan to do drive-in worship rain or shine, but if the weather looks seriously threatening, we will send out an email & post to the church social media at 9:00 am any change. Thunderstorms are in the forecast, so we will be cautious, but rain alone in the morning won't stop us!
It will, though, complicate our greeting and sharing of the pre-packed communion in the parking lot if it rains! Our hope is for most of you to
bring your own communion elements
and staying inside of your vehicle.
When you are in a parking place across Rugg Avenue from the church building, facing the side of the church, tune your radio to 88.5 FM.
After some CD music, to see if we have things in order, you should hear Patty playing the organ inside the sanctuary
starting about 10:20 am;
our opening & invocation with the Lord's Prayer will start at 10:30 am.
Our response to the prayer is the "Gloria Patri":
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end --
Amen, Amen!
A message from Matthew 13:1-9 will follow, leading into our time of communion, introduced with the "Doxology":
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above ye heavenly host:
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost -- Amen.
Then we will have our time of communion, and we will have back-up pre-packaged communion kits to share if needed, but they can be difficult to open. If you get this, please consider bringing your own!
And then a closing blessing, and we sing ourselves out
with "Peace Be Yours":
Peace be yours, may the Lord be with you
as we gather now and your whole life through,
blessing and mercy and wholeness too:
May God's peace be yours.
Peace be yours as you scatter from here.
Anywhere you go, God is always near,
loving and calming your deepest fear.
May God's peace be yours.
Again, for those who need to worship at home or wherever you are, there will be either video of our morning service or a special devotion & communion video sent out and posted Sunday afternoon. Our Facebook & Twitter for the church are in links at the bottom of this email.

We are glad to be able to share that the Finance team of Newark Central has worked to make online giving an option for anyone who wishes to do share their tithes & offerings in this way!
One way you can give online is by simply going to this secure site, which is connected to the offering recording software we've used for almost thirty years:
You can also give through your smartphone by means of the same platform. Just go to the "App store" on your phone, and search for the "Abundant Giving" app from ACS Technologies. Download the app, and then look for "Newark Central" and we will come up with the familiar red chalice logo -- then follow the instructions there.
Or, you can text "newarkcentralgive" to 73256 on your phone -- same service handles your giving, and shares the information directly with the Finance chair for our record keeping system.
You can also find quick links to online giving on our church website, both on the front page and under the "Donate" tab as well:
