WORSHIP SERVICE

>> Sunday Service Schedule and Themes

Worship is a heart to heart time with God. It is most wonderfully experienced when it is shared with others. We strive to make our worship services accessible and expressive of both the seeker and the seasoned of faith. In our worship we enter deeper into the mysterious and into the presence of God and our relationship to him.

Our services are a blend of contemporary and traditional music, prayer, relevant and practical teaching and prayer. The atmosphere is informal yet energetic.

Children are welcome and represent about 25% of our congregation. The congregation as a whole shares in the first half of the service. The children then come to the front for a children’s lesson and then leave for a time of supervised Children’s Church. Our Children’s Church provides quality age appropriate worship, instruction, crafts, activities and snack. Nursery service is provided.

At Mimico Baptist Church we have found a people and a place that helps us in our spiritual journey. It is a truly exciting and fulfilling journey to follow Jesus. Wherever you are in your journey, even if you have not yet begun, please come travel with us. Our confidence is in the tried and true guides of the Word and Spirit.

Shout for joy to the LORD , all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

-- Psalm 100

GOD IS WITH YOU - Zechariah 8:18-23 New International Version (NIV)
18 The word of the LORD Almighty came to me.
19 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.”
20 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, 21 and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the LORD and seek the LORD Almighty. I myself am going.’ 22 And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the LORD Almighty and to entreat him.”
23 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’”

There is an attraction to a person or people when it is evident that God is with them. We are going to look at this wonderful passage from the Hebrew Bible that concludes with, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’ Over the coming Sundays we are going to pick up on the themes and teachings of this verse and the passage it comes from. We will explore how they instruct and impact our living. I think you will be intrigued reading the sermon summaries listed below. Please join us as we move into the presence of God.

January 22nd, 11:00: God is with you.
How would a person discern that God is with another person or people? What does God with you mean and what does it look like? How will you know that God is with you? These are important questions that we will explore together. This attraction to God is both local and global. How evident is God? There is evidence that demands attention. Exodus 33:12-18

January 29th, 11:00: 92nd Anniversary Service.
Our guest speaker is the General Secretary of Canadian Baptist Ministries, Rev. Sam Chaise. Our church has a remarkable story – come be a part of it. The service will be followed by lunch. Come join the celebration.

February 5th, 11:00: Seekers.
Are there people out there looking for God? Is there a latent spiritual thirst that needs to be awakened in people? What would possess a person to grab someone’s clothing and seek their help to find God? There is a reason for spiritual thirst and a great solution to quench it. Jesus promised living water from which we will thirst no more. If you are a seeker you will want to be here. Psalm 63

February 12th, 11:00: Jerusalem.
This passage seems to focus on Jerusalem and the Jews. What possible relevance does this passage have for us Gentiles? There is tremendous significance and a deep richness of meaning in this place and people. How are the promises of God being fulfilled? Prepare to be intrigued and included. John 4:19-26;

February 19th, 11:00: Magnets.
What would it be like to be that one Jew with ten seekers hanging on to you asking to go with you because you go with God? Would you want to be that one? Could you be a seeker magnet? Could the presence of God be so evident in your life that others are attracted to his presence in you? Yes, it is possible. Acts 2:42-47

February 26th, 11:00: Remade.
This passage speaks of fasts becoming festivals or feasts. The fasts were to remember times of pain and periods of destruction. This promise of feasts speaks of a healing and renewal. There is good news here for the hurting, and the broken. Good news for the world. Today is the first Sunday in Lent. Isaiah 61:1-4
