What can you expect when you attend one of our services? Our Sabbath services are usually an hour and a half. They are structured as follows:
- We sing 6 stanzas from the Scottish Metrical Psalter. We do not stand when singing.
- Then the minister engages in prayer. Everyone stands during each prayer.
- We read a portion from God's Word, using the King James Authorised Version.
- We sing 6 more stanzas from the Scottish Metrical Psalter.
- The minister reads the verse or portion from Scripture which he wishes to explain, usually from the portion read, and begins his sermon.
- The minister ends the sermon with prayer.
- We sing 4 more stanzas.
- The benediction: the minister blesses the congregation with the blessing from 2 Corinthians 13:14.
Our Wednesday night prayer meetings are structured similarly. They tend to be shorter, around one hour. The minister will also ask some of the men to pray.
