An Order for the Presentation of Bibles At the time of your baptism, your parents and sponsors promised faithfully to bring you to the services of God's house, to teach you the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments, to place in your hands, the Holy Scriptures, and to provide for your instruction in the Christian faith, that, living in the covenant of your Baptism and in communion with the Church, you may lead a godly life/lives until the day of Jesus Christ. New Year's Service of Confession and Forgiveness (Instructions about the candle lighting) Candles and their light, almost by their very nature, are symbolic. Candlelight represents love. Candlelight represents beauty. Candlelight represents warmth and caring. Candlelight represents goodness, goodness which is stronger than evil. Candlelight represents life. These candles represent our lives this past year. An Agape Feast This can be used as a guide for an Agape Feast for Our Journey! It is indeed a good morning! It's God's morning! It is GOOD! It is another day on the journey!

What a privilege to break the fast with an agape meal… a love feast! High School Baccalaureate 2 This service may be used as a guide for Baccalaureate for High School students.

Church Anniverary - Worship Service Today we gather to celebrate 140 years of God's gracious acts for His people at this place. As God has called people to Himself, guided them through life, and brought many home to Himself here, we are reminded of God's saving acts toward His ancient people Israel. Thus their experience forms the theme for our worship this special day. |
