- Our Sunday worship service begins at 10:30 a.m., and everyone is welcome to join. If you are visiting for the first time, please inform the receptionist at the welcome desk on the 2nd floor.
- We would appreciate it if you could fill out a “New Visitor Card” at the reception desk (This is entirely optional — you are welcome to decline if you prefer). If you don’t have a Bible, hymnal, or Psalms reading booklet, you can borrow them at the reception.
- Please also pick up a Program (Shuho) at the reception, as our worship service follows the order printed in it.
- Offering is a way of participating in worship and expressing gratitude for God’s grace. At the reception, you will receive a “worship offering bag.” Giving is completely voluntary — if you choose not to give, simply return the bag to the usher when it is passed to you.
- Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month, as well as during special services such as Christmas and Easter. In this sacrament, we share bread and grape juice as symbols of Christ’s grace through His cross and resurrection. If you have not yet been baptized, we ask that you refrain from partaking and instead participate by reflecting on the words shared while remaining seated.
General Flow of Worship
- Hymn Singing
- We lift our voices together in praise by singing hymns.
- Psalms Reading
- The Book of Psalms, found in the Old Testament, is a collection of poems praising God. The officiant and congregation take turns reading aloud.
- Scripture Readings
- The appointed Bible passages for the day are read aloud.
- Prayer
- The preacher leads in prayer. Attendees typically bow their heads, close their eyes, and join in silent agreement. At the end, everyone responds together with “Amen,” a Hebrew word meaning “truly” or “so be it.”
- Sermon
- The pastor shares a message based on the Bible, conveying God’s will and guidance for our lives.
- Offering
- As an expression of gratitude for participating in worship, we give an offering accompanied by prayer. Giving is entirely voluntary — if you choose not to give, simply pass the offering bag along without placing anything in it.
- Benediction
- The pastor closes the service with a blessing for all in attendance.
