Year round we worship at 5:00pm on Saturday evenings. This is a unique and meditative service that includes weekly Holy Communion.
FAQs:
- Q: How often do you have communion?
- A: Every Saturday evening. The flow of Worship gathers us to hear the Word, then to share a family meal together (The Lord's Supper). We are then sent back into the world strengthened by this sacrament of grace.
- Q: I see young children taking bread and wine. What age do you allow children to commune?
- A: Just as God's invitation to baptism and promise of grace has no age, God's invitation to the table has no age. Just as babies sit in high chairs at a family meal, so we invite all ages to commune as the parents see fit. We do have a fifth grade first communion program, but schedule home visits to education children and parents at whatever age or time parents feel their child is ready for Holy Communion.
- Q: Are my children welcome in Worship? Do they ever have to leave?
- A: We believe that the absolute best way to teach the faith is when children and parents worship together. The liturgy, hymns, and lessons we go through every Sunday have sufficed to pass on the faith for thousands of years. In addition, parents are the best teachers of the faith- no one else and nothing else can do as good a job.
That being said, if you have young children who "lose it" in worship, it is always appropriate to bring them to the nursery, etc. Children grow into worship just as they grow into faith.
- Q: What do I have to do to become a member at Mount Olive?
- A: We believe that we are all on a faith journey that lasts our whole life. Thus, you can join whenever you say you want to join. There are no classes or preparation you must take before hand. However, as a member, we are committing to help one another walk in faith. We will encourage you to find education classes, fellowship opportunities, and service opportunities that make sense to you.
