Acolytes

Jun 14, 2022

At First Christian Church, we encourage younger children to participate in the order of worship by serving as acolytes. Each Sunday the children who are selected to serve as acolytes light the altar candles at the beginning of the service during the Introit; at the end of the service, they extinguish the candles during the last hymn. Adults are always eager to lend them a helping hand should they need assistance and to praise them for their service. Pictured here are Gavin and Chloe McGuire.

Attending worship service on Sunday morning gets my week started out great and with a purpose. I take great joy in service to the members of my church being a deacon. It is an honor to partake of the Lord's Supper.The format of the worship service is similar to the way it was when I was a boy growing up in this church. My parents were faithful members here and I can touch their memories each Sunday. Sometime certain hymns bring back wonderful memories of my parents, Red & Jeane Williams. I also enjoy and take comfort from fellowship with my church family and friends. We are so fortunate to have Rev. Jordan Byrd. He brings insight and clarity to the scriptures in a unique way. I always gain knowledge from his messages and also practicable ways to apply God's Word into everyday life experiences.
