What To Expect We would like to welcome you to Connection Church. As a church family of believers, it is our desire to touch the world with the Love of God through all aspects, programs, and ministries here within the church. Together we can do more than we can apart! This is God's church and we are His people -- we are glad that you have chosen to worship with us today. Our weekend gathering is designed to encourage you in the faith through fellowship, worship, and teaching. Our service is a little longer than some, but we feel it is important to provide enough time during each segment, so that you can connect with others and God in a powerful way. During the first portion of the service there is a time of Family Connection where we connect as a family of believers. During this time, feel free to grab some coffee or tea. Following the Welcome and time of Giving, we enter into our second segment of our service, which is music Worship. This is a time for us to bring our praise in song, prayer, quiet, or contemplation. If God asks you to cry out -- then cry out to Him. If He asks you to kneel at the altar in worship, then kneel. If He asks you to grab someone to pray with you at the front, then move. If He asks you to sit quietly and listen in worship, then sit. This time is for you to present your "Offering of Praise" in thankfulness to the King. The last portion of our service is our time of teaching and learning. Our desire is that you receive knowledge through the Word and in doing so, see God in a new way in your life. As you worship, your children will be cared for, taught about who God Is, participate in activities and crafts, and learn through video the stories from God's Word. May your time with us today be Blessed as you dedicate this time to God in Worship!
