We will be streaming a message at 10:30am every Sunday. Please join us.
FELLOWSHIP BREAK
10:00 AM
We start with a time of fellowship over coffee, tea, and donuts. This is a great time to catch up with friends, meet visitors, and share in one another's lives. Often the brief chats over coffee blossom into lifelong friendships.
“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.”
1 John 1:3
FAMILY worship & BREAKING OF BREAD
10:30 AM
Family Worship, 10:30 AM
Our Family Worship service is a time for the entire family to gather to sing songs of worship and listen to preaching from the Word together.
The music team begins the service with songs to unite the body in praise and adoration of our God. Our worship team may not be made up of professional musicians, but it is filled with believers willing to use the gifts and talents given to them by our gracious Father. No song is too old or too new to be sung at Laurel.
After the time of music, we continue our worship with a remembrance service. During this time, individuals may participate in a time of sharing followed by the Breaking of Bread. More details on this component are provided below.
We conclude with Spirit-filled preaching from the Word. The Word is shared by brothers in the assembly and visiting preachers. We preach both through books of the Bible as well as important topics. Our goal is that every message be filled with the transforming power of the Holy Spirit and directed to the whole family. Listen to Previous Sermons »
“Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.”
Breaking of Bread
Each Sunday morning we gather together around the Bread and the Cup, the emblems of our Lord’s sacrifice. Before taking the elements we spend time worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ by singing songs, praying, reading scripture, and sharing about Him.
We normally begin with a brother who opens with the week’s meditation. Then the time is open for all believers to participate. We only ask that those sharing examine themselves so that they do not participate or partake of the elements in an unworthy manner (such as selfishly or divisively). (1 Cor. 11:27-32)
The service culminates as we partake of the Bread and the Cup. This is a time reserved for personal mediation and reflectance.
“For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
