Visitors
We know that going to a new church for the first time can be a bit unnerving.
What do you wear? Where do you park? Will anyone greet you? What can you expect?
The list of questions you may have before coming to visit us may be long. We want to try to answer those questions so that on your first visit you feel right at home!
- When should I arrive?
Our Sunday morning services start at 10 a.m. Most people arrive about 5-10 minutes early.
- What should I wear?
In our sanctuary on Sunday you will see everything from shorts or jeans to what can only be described as "Sunday Best". Wear what you feel comfortable wearing to church.
- Where do I park?
Our church is located across the street from Fairshake (Pine City's local ice cream place). We have a parking lot in the rear with entrance/exits on each side of the sanctuary.
- Where do I go when I get there?
- The back entrance to the church is clearly visible from the parking lot. If you are facing the building, the door is on the right wall. You will go in the door, turn left, go up a few steps (or use our lift if you cannot climb the stairs) and enter the front of the sanctuary. If you prefer to come in the back of the sanctuary you can enter through the front entrance (the entrance seen from Pennslyvania Avenue). To access that door from the parking lot, face the building, and follow the sidewalk to the left of the church. It will lead you around front.
- Do I need anything such as a Bible or something that will lead me through Worship?
Bibles and Hymnals are provided in each pew. Bulletins are available at each entrance. As you enter, a greeter will most likely direct you to one, but if you sneak in late or make it past the greeter without one, don't worry! Our worship is pretty easy to follow and announcements are made as to what is about to occur (such as announcing the hymn numbers).
- What can I expect?
We are a small congregation, so we know each other fairly well. We are rather informal. Any one can make an announcement or prayer request from their seat during the announcements time. It is not unusual for someone in the pew to speak with someone behind the pulpit. The congregation prays aloud and sings together. Typically, the congregation stands when singing. You can expect to be greeted and welcomed, but not singled out.
- What about when the service is over?
Once the service is over you are invited to stay for coffee or lemonade and cookies. Our congregation gathers in the back of the sanctuary for a short time (10-15 minutes) of fellowship and conversation. This is our chance to say hello and get to know you!
