The Worship Experience at NMDC
Sunday morning service at New Mercies focuses on worship
of the Lord Jesus Christ through inspirational music
and preaching and/or teaching of the Word of God. You
will find a culturally mixed congregation worshipping
together. You will feel comfortable dressed in your “Sunday
best” or in your casual attire.
Before Morning Worship Service
Before the start of morning worship, we ask that all enter
the sanctuary with quiet reverence. Sunday School classes
begin promptly at 9:30 AM and are conducted in the Sanctuary
for adults, while children’s classes are held in
one of the classrooms in the rear of the main church
building.
During Morning Worship Service
Morning worship service begins promptly at 11:00 AM. As
you enter the sanctuary, ushers are on-hand to assist
you. Morning service begins with corporate prayer, scripture
reading and singing. We sing a combination of traditional
hymns and contemporary praise and worship songs. Visitors
are welcome to join the singing or simply observe. You
will see public demonstration of love for the Lord Jesus
Christ that can take many different forms. You may see
the lifting of hands, clapping or spirit-led dancing
before the Lord. It is also likely to see someone cry,
smile, sway back and forth or just close their eyes in
quiet adoration -- these are all bible-based forms of
worship that glorify God. Communion (The Lord’s
Supper) is typically served on the 2nd Sunday of every
month. When we do so, the significance of this ordinance
is clearly communicated.
A monetary offering is received before the sermon. A visitor
is under no obligation or pressure to participate in the
offering.
Either Pastor George or Pastor Deborah will then present
a sermon that illustrates practical application of biblical
principles. However, should the pastors be absent, a member
of the ministerial staff or guest minister will present
the Gospel message. The pastor will end the sermon with
a call to salvation for those wishing to receive the Lord
Jesus Christ as their Savior and offer one-on-one prayer
to all who desire.
After Morning Worship Service
Following service, Pastors George and Deborah remain in
the sanctuary to greet guests and members. You can feel
free to mingle with the Pastors and church members during
this time.
We hope to see you soon!
