Traditional Worship 10:00am Our Worship is not about what we can get out of the service, but what we can do to Worship the Lord! It is all about Him! We use the gifts and graces that the Lord has blessed His church with by using a multi media projection system, DVD's and computer technology to project images and words relating to the scriptures and service. Our children are not forgotten either! Pastor Don has a special “Time for Our Children” in which all of the children of the church go to the Altar where he shares a Bible lesson with them. He then gathers them together to bow their heads, close their eyes, fold their hands and be very quiet so that they can hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit as he prays over them. The children are then given a special remembrance of the daily Bible lesson to keep as a reminder of the awesomeness of God. Traditional hymns are sung in praise in and worship to God Contemporary Pre-Worship Music 9:45am Our Contemporary Worship is held every Sunday evening at 7:00 P.M. and is very uplifting! (Dress is casual) This service also uses the same multi media & computer technology as the morning service but also features our Contemporary Worship Team, “Prevenient Grace.” This team is made up of singers, guitarists, a violinist and even the maracas! We sing contemporary songs and some traditional hymns that get the entire congregation involved. It is truly a WORSHIP service where you can feel free to lift your hands in praise and clap as the Spirit moves you! The “young and young at heart” at the Contemporary Worship also received a special remembrance of the Bible message. At each service Pastor Don challenges you to read the Word, live the Word and share the Word with others as Disciples of Christ. He follows wherever the Holy Spirit leads him in his preaching and sometimes this can be very convicting, which is the Holy Spirit speaking to you. The Forty Fort United Methodist Church is a very strong Bible based and Spirit filled church. Our Worship Services are Ecumenical and open to all! There are many opportunities for Lay ministry in our worship services. Here are a few and how you can become involved. Lay readers.
