WORSHIP SERVICE

WORSHIP SERVICE

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

Sunday Service Schedule

Season of Lent
^{February 21st} ^{Suffering and Faith}	Paul’s extensive experience of suffering was endured by God’s sufficient grace and understood in light of the cross and the empty tomb.
February 28th	Mission Speaker Dennis Sheirman CBM West Canada Regional Director
March 7th Communion 1 Corinthians 11:17-34	Jesus gave the church a meal to share regularly as an act of remembrance and worship. It was to be a time of communion around his table. In Corinth the meaning of this meal was lost in selfishness and divisions. Paul writes to remind them of the purpose and significance of the meal.
March 14th Andy Derksen (our student intern)	Jesus had his own personal "Lent" in the sense that he temporarily gave up His glory to walk the earth as a man to accomplish our redemption. In turn, we must practice a heart-version of "Lent" throughout our entire lifetime. From Colossians 2 and Philippians 2
March 21st Alvin Lau	Paradoxes of Faith
March 28th Palm Sunday	On the week before Jesus died there was a celebration as he came in to Jerusalem. The people welcomed their Messiah and King but did not understand what Jesus’ mission involved. We on the other side of Easter can understand and exalt the coming King. It is for us to celebrate and declare to the world, “Fear not! Your King is coming! Hosanna! Lord save us now!”
