NEWCOMERS
What
to expect upon visiting Pecan Grove...
Newcomers to Pecan Grove will notice we are a "family" style
congregation. We always strive to be an inclusive and welcoming group,
greeting each other and visitors warmly. If you join us on
Sunday
morning, you will be treated to donuts, juice, milk, and coffee before
our Sunday school classes. We offer classes for babies,
preschoolers, lower and upper elementary kids, teens, and
adults.
Following Sunday school, we will move to the auditorium to participate
in worship service together. A nursery is available and
informally attended by members for a safe place for little ones who are
struggling in worship.
Our worship service will include
acappella
singing, prayer, weekly Communion, and a sermon. Responsive
Bible
readings, special solos or song selections, Powerpoint presentations,
or member shared poetry may be included on any given Sunday.
Our
congregation chooses not to have a located preacher. We have a
group of visiting preachers who preach on Sundays. Elders and
members also fill the pulpit on a regular basis. Our "Speakers"
page has more details. During the sermon, children ages 3-12 are
welcome to attend Kingdom Quest, if desired. Kingdom Quest is
our
"children's church" program where children can learn Bible lessons
through song, lessons, crafts, cooking, and games. Following
the
worship service, we share in a fellowship meal together that is
"potluck" style. Everyone is welcome to attend, especially
our
visitors.
If you join us on Wednesday night, you will find us visiting and
fellowshipping at 7:00 pm. We begin with an informal song
service
where anyone is welcome to suggest songs that we share
together.
Songs are led by anyone who feels comfortable. We often
practice
new songs and lots of old standards. Once our voices are
"tired
out", we break for classes. During the summer the kids will
all
participate together in a fun lesson with crafts, coloring, or
games. Throughout the rest of the year, the older kids (3rd
grade
and up) participate in practicing for their events in LTC (see the
Education page for more info) while the younger kids watch a Bible
based movie and color and have snacks while the adults have
class. Adult classes are informal, led by members, with lots
of
discussion on a myriad of topics.
We hope this little summary will help you feel "at home" when you visit
us at Pecan Grove Church. Come on down and see us
anytime!
