Blended Worship
Worship
Our 10:00 worship hour is an exciting and inspirational blend of "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs" (Ephesians 5:19). The choir and orchestra serve as our worship team. We call this service our "Celebration Worship Service" because it truly is, week after week, a celebration! The music, along with strong biblical teaching from our pastor, Dr. Lincoln, work together to bring everyone into a personal experience with God regardless of age or background.
What to expect
If you enjoy many aspects of the traditional church you may have grown up with, but prefer a blend of the old hymns with new worship anthems, then this service is for you. From recent college graduates, to young families, to adults in their prime of life--all generations can feel right at home here. While this service is a little more formal in style than our modern worship service, you can feel comfortable in jeans or go all out with your "Sunday best". Bring a hungry heart, and we believe that through worship and the teaching of God's Word, you'll encounter the living God in a powerful, life-changing way.
The bulletinBe sure to take a bulletin* from one of the ushers handing them out at the doors to the worship center. Our bulletin is designed to give you important information about what's happening in the life of our church. Use your bulletin to take sermon notes then take it home to stay up to date and connected at Shandon. You can also make your reservations for the Wednesday night meal, Legacy Builders Luncheon for senior adults, and the upcoming Dinner with the Pastor by filling out the tear-off in the bulletin. If it's your first Sunday at Shandon, we encourage you to fill out the Connection Card. We would love to contact you with the information that pertains to you and your family.
The worship service
We encourage you to be an active participant in worship. You can anticipate singing (the words are on the screen), worship through giving (the offering), and a message taught straight from God's Word. From time to time we celebrate baptism and the Lord's Supper. If you have given your heart and life to Jesus Christ, you are invited to particpate in the Lord's Supper--you do not have to be a member of our church or a member of a Southern Baptist Church.
*Because we use the same bulletin for both services, we do not print the Order of Worship. If you like to follow along with the Order of Worship, you can ask one of our Ushers for a copy, or pick one up on your way into the Worship Center.
