First Time Visitors
|
I am planning a visit. What should I expect Sunday morning?
|
How do I get there?
We are on the south side of Durham at the corner of South Alston Avenue and Angier Avenue.
This [Map] shows the surrounding roads.
|
Where do I park?
There is parking on the side and rear of church property. There is also parking across the street.
|
What do I bring?
Bring yourself and maybe a Bible if you wish to follow along with the readings from your own.
There are also Bibles and Hymnals in the pews.
|
When do I need to arrive?
Church services are at 11:00 with Sunday School at 9:45. Come a few minutes early to park,
and to be warmly received in the sanctuary.
|
What do adults wear?
You are welcome to wear whatever you are comfortable in. Members often describe the dress code as "business casual,"
but some people wear their "Sunday Best," while others wear jeans.
|
What do children wear?
Children should wear comfortable clothes. During Children’s Church they may spend time working with
art supplies.
|
What are the services like?
Our service is more of a "Blended" service with readings, Special music, traditional hymns, prayers and a sermon.
Holy Communion is served every Sunday. You do not need to be a member of the church to participate nor do you need to feel obligated to participate.
Readings and Songs - All readings, songs or prayers that the congregation may recite are printed in either the bulletin that is handed out at the service or in the
hymnals located in the pews.
Offering - We do not believe in asking visitors to feel obligated to give to the offering. Also do not feel that you would be the only one not
placing anything in the offering plate since many of our members give monthly or some other schedule and do not place an offering in the plate
each week.
|
May our child stay with us during the service?
Yes, but children are also invited to attend our Children's Church which is held
during the worship hour.
|
Is your church accessible to people in wheelchairs?
Yes. We have handicapped parking spaces, a ramp entrance to the
church and a handicap restroom. |
