Visiting New York Avenue Church of Christ

I Want to Visit!

New York Avenue Church of Christ

What to expect when you visit on a Sunday morning:

A warm and friendly congregation who will welcome you

Services that glorify God

Bible classes are held first, (10am) and worship service follows (11am)

When Christianity began, worship was very simple--requiring only minds, hearts, and voices attuned to God

The song service reflects that simplicity

	Everyone is encouraged to participate in the singing in worship
	It is a time to commune with God through His Spirit
	The singing is a cappella
	Choose a range of singing comfortable for your voice

Prayers will be led by men in the congregation

	Most worshipers simply bow their heads
	You are welcome to assume any submissive posture that is comfortable to you in prayer

Each Sunday, a time is set aside to remember the death and resurrection of Jesus

	As Jesus did at the Last Supper, unleavened bread is served to remember His physical body, surrendered to death
	Grape juice is served to remember His blood given for our forgiveness
	Communion, (or Lord's Supper), is a memorial act for Christians to observe
	The decision to commune or not is each individual's decision

Each Sunday, members give money to support the work of the congregation

The work of the congregation is the responsibility of its members, so gifts from visitors are accepted but not expected

Following the morning sermon, there will be song of reflection/invitation

This invitation is offered:

to encourage Christians who feel they need public prayer to come forward during the invitation song.

to allow the person who in faith and repentance wants to be baptized into Christ.

Christ's invitation is open every day, every hour

Any time is the appropriate time for prayer or baptism.
