Market Street Baptist Church
What to Expect
Our Sunday morning worship services begin at 10:00 am and typically ends by 11:30 am. We meet in the Sanctuary upstairs (elevator is available). Nursery care is available every Sunday for children under 5 years of age. Dress is casual, though some members enjoy wearing their Sunday best.
Our worship service moves in three parts:
Part 1: The Prayers and Praise of God's People
Welcome & Responsive Reading (usually from the Psalms)
Prayer of Praise & Thanks
The singing of hymns (both old and new)
Prayer of Confession
Part 2: The Ministry of the Word
Readings from the Old and New Testaments
The preaching of Christ grounded in the Scripture texts
(NOTE: we usually work through a book of the Bible)
Part 3: The Response of God's People
The singing of a hymn in response to the message
Any special announcements
Prayers of supplication and/or communion (1st Sunday of the month)
The giving of tithes and offerings
Closing hymn and benediction
After service, all are welcome to stay for fellowship downstairs in Friendship Hall.
