What's best?
If service times were changed, when should services be scheduled and what kind of service should take place at the scheduled times? Please choose one of the options below as your preference.
Option 1:
Two services with a 9:00 am service using liturgy and hymns from our hymnal
AND
10:30 am or 11:00 am using a liturgy with contemporary worship songs.
Option 2:
Create a third service to add to the existing schedule. Service times on Sunday at 8:00 am, 9:30 am, and 11:00 am, with planning for service type in the future.
Option 3:
Conduct three services on Sunday morning, with one service time at 8:00 am and two at 10:15 am. One of the 10:15 services would be held in the sanctuary, and the other service would be held in the chapel. Worship styles would be different for each of these services, with the same preacher delivering the sermon at both services. Tentatively, Bible study would remain at 9:30 am and Sunday School for children at 10:15 am.
Option 4:
No changes
