Weaverville Church of the Nazarene

Now back to 1 service!

With changing economy, changes in the community, changes within the church, and general sense of division, it was recently decided to go back to one service. We are one body in Christ. Amen to that! And it is important that we see eye to eye with one another and have unity in relationships with each other and Christ, even if we disagree with each other. So now it is time to get back together, work together, and be God's servant to build His kingdom!

Service times as noted on the right column of the website.

Second Service Info

Recently we changed our Sunday Mornings to include a second service. Both services have the goal of providing an environment of Worship of our Lord and Savior. 

Early Service
A service steeped in tradition and familiar to most church goers across America

Later Service
Very similar to our traditional service with a contemporary flare

Multiple Sunday Service Information

We received 34 surveys back, representing 79 people.  60% said that they would most likely attend the 10:45 service, 40% for the 8:30 service.  10 new volunteers were identified.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS:

Q.  Why do we need to have two services?

A.  Parking!  We have 63 parking spaces.  Our parking capacity

    is maxed out with an attendance of approximately 150.   

   While we have 222 seats in the sanctuary, it is best to stay

   below the 80% rule, which would be 177.  March 05 we

   averaged 167, October 05 averaged 166, December 05

   averaged 170.  We need to make room for continued growth.

Q.  What will be done to make sure we keep on time, and not

       cut into Sunday School time?

A.  Pastors John and Ray have worked out worship times to fit

    the time allotted.  Early service will usually be limited to 4-5

    songs.  All the “extras”, i.e. special announcements, dramas,

    etc. will be limited and must be approved ahead of time.

Q.  How will we find the needed additional volunteers?

A.  God doesn’t ask us to step out on faith unless He has

     already paved the way.  We believe that God has put it on

     some of your hearts to help make this happen.  Our

     faithfulness opens the door for His plans to be fulfilled.

Q.  Will there be childcare?

A.  Yes.  However, to be with there will only be Nursery (ages 2 and

     under) available during the 8:30 service.  This will change as we have

     need, and as new volunteers come forward.  The 10:45 service will

    continue to have Nursery, Toddler Church, and PromisedLand.

Q.  What will be done to facilitate the unity of the church body?

A.  First, the two services will remain very similar.  Same announcements,

     same message, same music, though there will be 1 or 2 fewer songs in

     the early service.  We will have a renewed emphasis on meeting

     together during S.S. classes and Home Groups.  We will probably have

     a quarterly “brunch”, or similar time together.

Please pray that the Lord would continue to lead and that we would be willing followers.  Please talk with pastors John or Ray for more.
