There is
nothing more important than the worship of the one true and living God
- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We have been created to bow down before
our Maker and render unto Him supreme praise and adoration.
While
we are to worship God privately and in our families every day of the
week, God calls us to worship Him uniquely as His gathered Church on
the first day of the week, the Lord's Day. Our great God has set apart
this day for His glory and our good. On this day God has promised to
meet with His gathered Church in a special way to hear our prayers,
receive our praises, and speak to us through the reading and preaching
of His Holy Word.
As we meet with our God in worship we are reminded of
His holiness,
His power, His truth, His love, His salvation, His grace, His mercy,
His forgiveness, His sovereignty, and His claim upon us. We recognize
that we cannot worship God or be accepted by Him apart from Jesus
Christ dying for our sins and being raised from the dead on the third
day. Thus our God both calls us and enables us to put our faith in
Jesus Christ alone and to repent from our sin.
Memorial Church therefore gathers with anticipation and
expectation
for public worship each Lord's Day. We begin the day with worship at
10:00 a.m. and we close the day with worship at 5:00 p.m.
We believe you will find the worship of God here to be
reverent,
serious, joyful, and God-centered. You will find Christ exalted and the
Word of God defining everything we do. For "faith comes by hearing, and
hearing by the Word of God" as it is faithfully preached (Romans
10:14-17).
