Who? What? Wear?
What Should I Wear?
Be yourself. Some people dress up, others come casually. Our church does not have a tradition of particular Sunday Best/Sunday Clothes. We invite you to consider the nature of our gathering as a time to show honor to the Creator of the universe and all who dwell herein. Therefore we ask that you attend to clothing that is respectful and does not demean others or show slogans that promote violence, for example.
Where Do I Go?
The building sits off the road (711 W. Main St., Purcellville, VA 20132) Come up the stairs or ramp to the main entrance. Once you enter the foyer, the Sanctuary (for worship) is to your right. To your left is the Fellowship Hall. A friendly greeter will help you find your way, answer questions, hand out programs, and tell you about the options for the youngest disciples (who are always welcome in worship).
What happens in worship?
The worship service follows a an order that includes prayer, songs, readings from the Bible and interactive readings by the people and the leaders. The program moves from gathering and offering a song(s) of praise, to hearing Scripture readings and an interpretation of what the Bible verses mean in our lives today (sermon is the churchy word). From the inspiration and grace of God’s word, we then respond to the good news by making our own commitment to serve God. This commitment takes many forms. In the service there is an invitation to an offering of one’s time, talents, and “treasure,” (financial giving). We conclude with a blessing.
Are Children Welcome?
ABSOLUTELY. Our Children and Youth Ministries committee provide fun and interactive learning activities teaching the babies through high school that God’s love is for them. Children under the age of 4 are welcome to remain with their parents. Please know that we know–kids are kids and we do not expect absolute stillness or quiet. If you prefer, we have a Nursery Caregiver and a Helper every Sunday from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Your children will be loved with the love of God setting the stage for a sense of security and comfort from which to learn about their place in God’s household and family.
