FIRST TIME VISITORS: |
| ARE CHILDREN OR INFANTS WELCOME IN THE SERVICE? |
Children and infants are encouraged to stay with their elders during the first part of the service until the Pastor addresses them during the "children’s time." At that point they are free to go to the nursery (staffed by two responsible persons) or are welcome to remain with their parents in worship. |
| HOW DOES COMMUNION WORK? |
Our communion table is open to all who love and trust Jesus Christ. We vary the form from time to time to try make the experience as meaningful for as many as possible. This means that Communion elements may be passed through the pews or, at other times, communicants may be invited to come forward to receive. |
| HOW DOES THE OFFERING WORK AT THIS CHURCH? |
There is one offering during the service, at which time a plate will be passed through your pew. You may choose to give or not to give as your conscience directs you. |
| IS SOMEONE GOING TO TRY AND “SAVE” ME? |
NO! At Lake Nokomis we don’t feel that any person can come along and “save” you or grant you salvation. We turn to the authority of Paul who said that we are all “…saved by grace.” |
HOW DO I ADDRESS YOUR MINISTER?
(E.G., “REVEREND”, “RABBI”, “FATHER”, “PASTOR”, “SISTER”, ETC.) |
“Pastor”, “Reverend” or their first name is acceptable. |
