During our time on Sunday our Worship Leader along with our musicians will begin the service by leading us all in singing. There will also be special music sung by our Worship Team and/or soloists.
We will then hear preaching from our Pastor with a message from the Bible. The Bible reading will be projected on the screens so you can follow along as it is read. If you have a Bible you are welcome to use it. We can also give you a Bible to keep if you like, or feel free to use a Bible App on your phone or tablet.
Preaching is important because it leads us to a cross roads where we have opportunity to make good choices in our lives. Time will be given for us to respond in personal, silent prayer to God. You may also take communion during this time, leave a prayer requests in the prayer box, or light a candle in prayer or in memory of. Embrace! Church has an open communion which means everyone is invited to take communion if they would like.

Embrace! Church is rooted in the Bible. It is important for proper understanding of our faith and in growing as Christians. During our Time in the Word, we will read a portion of the Scripture together. Questions may be asked (to no one in particular) by Pastor to help get us thinking. General discussion is encouraged & welcomed. This is a time for us to learn, talk, and grow in our understanding of God’s Word and how we can practically use it in our everyday lives.
After our time in the Word, we devote the last bit of time to praying for each other, family, and friends and also expressing our gratitude for the blessings in our lives.
