On the First Sunday of every month, all of our house churches come together at Nordson Depot (671 Franklin Ave in Amherst) for a combined worship service at 10am. It's not a typical worship service. We drink coffee and fellowship for a while before we get started. We sit at round tables together to make sure that everyone gets to connect. We usually sing a few songs (lyrics projected on a screen). Then pastor Dan shares a short message (15-20 minutes). After that, we discuss the sermon at our tables. We usually take communion after discussion and then sing another song. We don't normally pass an offering plate, but we have a box in the back in case people want to give. You can also give online. After the last song, most people hang out for a while as we slowly make our way out.
This month, we will be having Child Dedications as parents commit to disciple their children to follow Jesus and the church commits to support them!
Also, we will be going to the lake to baptize some believers after the service!
