On the First and Third Sunday of every month, we meet at Paper Moon Vineyards (2008 State Road Vermillion, OH). On the second, fourth, and fifth Sundays, we meet in house churches. Visit us on the 1st or 3rd Sunday to connect. We can connect you with the closest house church for you!
10am: People 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.
10:30am: We open with prayer.
10:35am: 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.
10:40: We have someone lead in singing. We try to sing one hymn, one psalm, and one doctrinally sound contemporary song.
10:50: We pray together using the ACTS model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) with someone leading each section.
11:05: The elder (or elder in training) teaches. Since we go chapter by chapter, it is expected that everyone reads ahead of time.
11:45: Someone proclaims the gospel (we rotate weekly, so a different person shares every time).
11:50: We take communion. We recommend distributing communion to fathers to distribute to the family.
12:00: We have a potluck meal together.
