The Lord’s Supper/ Breaking of Bread (Communion)

We partake in the Lord’s Supper together every Sunday. This meeting begins our Sunday gatherings and lasts up to an hour. Instituted by the Lord Jesus so His followers could remember, as He said, “This do in remembrance of Me.” (1 Corinthians 11:24)
It’s a precious time of reflecting on the Lord Jesus’ sacrifice for us and partaking of the elements that commemorate this sacrifice, the bread and wine/grape juice (served in individual communion cups). Men share short devotional thoughts and pray audibly while women pray silently. We also sing some hymns together. Anyone is welcome to attend, but partaking of the Lord’s Supper elements is reserved for those who have put their faith and trust in Jesus and have made a personal commitment to Him. Inquire if you want to know more about what we believe regarding the Lord’s Supper.

Family Bible Hour / Sunday School

The second meeting features a sermon based on the Scriptures. This meeting is an hour in length, with the first 25 minutes including announcements and congregational singing for all in attendance. The final 35 minutes is dedicated to preaching/teaching from the Word of God. Preachers/teachers for the adults include the elders at the assembly, other capable men from Crescent Heights Chapel, as well as visiting speakers from other assemblies. This meeting often includes a focus on the gospel, the good news of Jesus coming as our Savior from sin. At this time Crescent Heights Chapel does not have a regular weekly Sunday School for children. However, Sunday School is available upon request, with notice.

Tuesday Prayer Meeting & Bible Study

During this hour-long meeting, time is given for sharing, prayer and studying God’s Word. Anyone with a prayer request is welcome to bring it forward at the meeting, and notes/letters from missionaries and Christian organizations are shared to highlight items for prayer. Men who feel led are encouraged to pray aloud while the women pray along silently. The Bible study portion of the meeting is often a continuous teaching series covering a specific topic (e.g. salvation), book of the Bible (e.g. Romans) or a character from the Bible (e.g. David) over a number of weeks. Video studies are often used during this meeting.
