Services

We meet every Sunday: 10: 30 am at Paper Moon Vineyards (2008 State Road Vermillion, OH).

Here's a quick overview of what a normal Sunday morning looks like: 

  • 10am: People start to arrive, drink coffee and fellowship for 30 minutes or so.  We see this as absolutely part of the assembly and encourage people to edify one another in this time. (If you get here at 10am and no one is here yet, just hold on. Everyone trickles in)

  • 10:20am: We open with prayer and share a meal together.

  • 11:00 am: One of the children leads us through 5 catechism questions (a different child every week).  We've been using New City Catechism, because it is easy to get in the hands of everyone, and it is sound.  I still wish we had started with an LBC 1689 catechism instead.  

  • 11:05 am: We have someone lead in singing.  We try to sing one hymn, one psalm, and one doctrinally sound contemporary song.  

  • 11:20 am: We stand pray together using the ACTS model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) with someone leading each section.  

  • 11:30 am: Our pastor or one of our elders (or a qualified guest speaker) teaches.  Since we go chapter by chapter, it is expected that a lot of people the passage ahead of time.  On the first Sunday of the month, our pastor pauses from our usual study to address a key theological topic from Scripture.

  • 12:10: Someone proclaims the gospel (we rotate weekly, so a different person shares every time). 

  • 12:15: We take communion.  We recommend distributing communion to fathers to distribute to the family.  

  • 12:30: We close in prayer, but a lot of people hang out after.
