To you, the Web Browser,
Hi! Glad you found us. Please feel free to look around and
see what interests you.
Often times, especially when I’m eating at a new
restaurant, I’ll ask the waiter who is taking our order, “What are
you proud of here?” Sometimes that person will give me a puzzled look so
I’ll reframe the question like this, “It’s my first time
here, what would you advise me to order so that I’ll want to come back
time and time again?” I’ve often gotten some awesome food by asking
that question.
Maybe that’s your question for Cherokee. What are we
proud of here?
First I’d invite you to check out our
Children’s Christian Education program. IMHO our children are getting a
great Bible education. If you have a younger child ages 3-14, put them in our
Sunday School program and they will learn the stories
of the Bible. Children who come here know that they are loved. We see in them
the hope of our world’s future, and we strive in every way to give them a
great Christian Education start.
Second, I’d invite you to check out our Wednesday
Night Service. It starts at 6:30 goes for about 45 minutes and is designed as a
midweek time to connect with God. We use all types of music; sometimes
it’s upbeat, sometimes more mellow. After the
service gets started, the head of our Christian Education program takes the
children ages 4-11 to a Bible Exploration Time that allows parents to relax,
think and connect with others. There’ll be some drinks (coffee, tea, etc.) and something to
nibble on. What’s different about this service is that there is often
some time to think and then respond to what you have experienced. Lots of folk like having that opportunity.
Third, I’m proud of our inclusive and accepting
nature. While we don’t make a big deal about it (except maybe right
here!) we are a church that welcomes everyone “without regard to gender,
race, color, ethnicity or sexual orientation.” Every week during our
Communion service everyone present is invited to participate according to their
own preference. We like to think it’s the way God wants our whole world
to be.
So there you are, three reasons to
come check us out. I think you’ll have an awesome experience.
