Hamburg Church Of Christ

July 26 - 29th,63rd Annual Ky/IN Christian Fellowship

What To Expect When You Open Our Doors You will find No exclusive pews for any person. All are equally greeted with courtesy and kindness (Acts 10: 34-35, Galatians 3:28). No tendency toward entertainment with beautiful organ or instrumental music. The congregation will engage in a'capella singing of spiritual and understandable words with simple melodies as they are led by one of the brethren(Ephesians 5:19). No cold and formal rites being said in some foreign tongue. Neither will you find the assembly in confusion as a number of people are praying at the same time. But you will observe the congregation reverently and quietly engaging in prayer which is worded by one of the brethren(1 Timothy 2: 1-12) If you are present on Sunday you will observe the congregation eating bread and fruit of the vine in memory of Christ(Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 11: 26-29 You will find no special collections being taken at every time of assembly.You will observe that a collection is made of free will contributions on Sunday(1 Corinthians 16: 1-3; Philippians 4: 14-17). As our guest, you are not expected to make a donation. Please just pass the collection plate to the person next to you. Our Congregation is independent,not part of an organized religious hierarchy. Elders oversee the congregation. You will observe that the Bible is the textbook to which reference is repeatedly made in the lessons and sermons,with special emphasis being placed on that part known as the New Testament. The Bible is accepted as the complete and only authority in religion today(2 Timothy 3: 16-17; Revelation 22: 18-19). The audience will not be embarressed by being called upon for any type of special demonstration.You can quietly observe and study that which you see and hear (1 Corinthians 14: 40). You will hear obedience to the will of Christ,emphasized as necessary for salvation; faith in Christ as taught in the Gospel (Mark16:15-16); repentance(Luke 13: 3) confession of that which you have believed (Romans 10: 9-10); and baptism for remission (forgiveness) of sins(Acts 2:38). At the close of the sermon those wishing to become Christians are invited to step to the front of the congregation and let there wishes be known. But never is anyone singled out for public attention.People are urged from the pulpit to accept Christ and yield to His teachings with deep spiritual conviction(Luke 9: 23-26; Romans 12: 1-2). If there should be a response from some in the audience to the appeal as mentioned above, you will see them taken into a pool behind the pulpit,where in simple likeness to the burial of Christ you will see them immersed in water and raised to begin the life of a Christian (Romans 6: 3-4). We truly hope you will accept our invitation to worship with us soon. You will receive a warm and friendly welcome. It will be our pleasure to have you and we sincerely believe you will be benefited by coming
