Sunday Service 10:55am Please join us this Sunday for morning worship at Sovereign Grace Presbyterian Church! We worship in the Reformed and Presbyterian tradition. This worship can be conveniently summarized: Singing the Word of God; Praying the Word of God; Reading the Word of God; Preaching the Word of God; "Seeing" the Word of God in the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
The contemporary relevance of this worship is that the Holy Spirit of God speaks to us--both as a congregation and as individuals--directly through the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments (cf. Heb 4:12-13; 1 Pet 2:1-3). This is a spiritual and apostolic worship (cf. John 4:23-24; 17:17; 2 Tim 4:1-4). It is conditioned by God's holy nature and His powerful salvation in Our Lord Jesus Christ (cf. Heb. 12:22-29). In response to God's saving message of grace to His people: "We sing together in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in our hearts unto God!" (cf. Col 3:16).
Beginning Sunday evening September 16, we will have our Evening Worship Service starting at 6:00 pm. Dr. Barcley will be starting a sermon series on the book of Exodus. "Exodus tells the story of God's deliverance and of God's covenant with his people. As it does so, Exodus points us forward to God's ultimate deliverance in Christ and to the new Covenent in his blood."
Nursery is provided for infants and toddlers.
Wednesday Night Church Supper/Bible Study/Prayer Meeting 6:00pm Preaching, worship, the sacraments and prayer were characteristic of the apostolic church and the key to its success. Beginning with Pentecost, each major event and advance in the Book of Acts and the Gospel of Luke is preceded by prayer. Not unlike Pentecost, Sovereign Grace Presbyterian Church was borne and nurtured through weekly congregational prayer meetings. Along with our Scottish fathers in the faith, we believe that congregational prayer is the "powerhouse" of the church. Why should God take us seriously if we will not follow the pattern of the early church so clearly set forth in Scripture? (cf. Luke 3:21-23; 6:12-16; 9:18-20, 28-31; 22:39-46; Acts 2:41-42; 4:23-35; 13:1-3; 14:23; 16:13-15, 23-34)
During most of the year (all but the June-August months) we gather for a fellowship dinner at 6:00 PM that is prepared by cooking teams from within the church. At 7:00 PM we gather for hymn singing and then dismiss the younger children to an interactive class for their instruction and activity. The Teens have their own special study time and fellowship. Our adults are usually led in a Bible study led by the Teaching Elder and then prayer requests are taken and a season of prayer is held. Of course a nursery is available for the toddlers and infants.
