 What to Expect
A
friendly smile, handshake or introduction will greet you shortly
after you step into the doors at St Paul. Our warm friendly atmosphere
makes you feel at home immediately! Please introduce yourself to
any of our joyful church members and staff. We look forward to meeting
you and worshiping together!
Do
I have to stand up in front of people? Some churches ask
visitors to stand up and introduce themselves to the congregation.
While we understand their desire to get to know their guests, some
people may not be comfortable doing this. Our congregation is a
community of warm and welcoming members. This is one of our greatest
gifts and we are sure you will come to know those who are around
your seat in worship by their warm invitation.
Do
you want my money? In a word, no. Our community is a giving
community. Members of our church see Christ in every part of their
lives and give of their time and monies. We are pleased the way
in which our gifts are making a difference in the world. These
opportunities are a growth out of membership in the community. Visitors
are welcome and not expected to give. You are our guest! In time,
if you should become a regular part of our life, you may decide
that you would like to participate in the giving of your time and
possessions to the work of this church. We are looking to grow joyfully
with you and are excited about the work of God in this church and
in our lives.
Do
I have to dress up? Absolutely not! Come to our community
and you will see some people in dresses and suits and others in
jeans and t-shirts. All are welcome, no strings attached.
May
I just come and see? You are always welcome to come to
church to see what life is like in our community. As a guest, you
are always welcome to join us anytime. You may receive a contact
from one of our members or staff asking for any questions you may
have after a visit to our church.
Will
I know what to do during the church service? Our worship
program has information in it about when we stand, when we sit,
what songs we sing, information on announcements and scripture passages.
This is done to make worship with us as simple as possible.
What
if I have other questions? Feel free to contact us with
any questions you may have. We would be happy to respond right away. |
