What
to expect when you visit
___________________________________________________
You
are invited to join us for any of the services at North
Raleigh. If you would like to visit for the first time, we
suggest you try Sunday morning worship. We want you to feel
comfortable when you visit so here's what you can expect in a
typical Sunday service.
Music
We usually begin with words of welcome followed by a passage
of scripture. Then we spend a few minutes singing as a
congregation. Music at North Raleigh is a mixture of
contemporary Christian songs combined with some of the
standard and best-loved hymns of the church. The words are
always shown on the screen and the congregation is encouraged
to sing along.
One of the members of the pastoral staff will greet the
congregation and then ask everyone to say hello to those
around them and perhaps introduce themselves to someone they
haven't met before. If you are visiting, you can count on
meeting some of North Raleigh's regular attendees this way.
Sermon
Then
one of the pastors will bring a Bible-based sermon presented
in a teaching style. There is an outline provided in the
worship folder to help you follow along and the scripture and
sermon highlights also appear on the screens at the front of
the sanctuary. Often times, the service ends in prayer or
another song.
Welcome gift
After the service, stop by the Welcome Center to introduce
yourself and pick up a gift we have reserved for all
first-time attendees.
Dress
As
for what to wear, ours is a casual atmosphere. Some people
come wearing their Sunday best while others attend in more
casual work type attire. Some people wear shorts and
flip-flops. Please wear whatever you feel most comfortable
wearing.
Services at North Raleigh are designed to be worshipful,
community-building experiences that make it possible for all
of us to have an encounter with God. We look forward to
having you with us soon.
