Why Do We Really Need Church?Why can't we worship God in the comfort of our homes, enjoying the best preaching and music that television has to offer? Why can't we just enjoy being alone in the woods, with God and the pine trees? Why can't we meet God at the water's edge, wiggling our toes in the warm sand? Read More...
I've been thinking I would like to go to church, but I don't know anyone.I don't know what to do, where to go, what to expect when I get there. It's hard and it feels awkward to do anything for the first few times. Here are some suggestions: Have you noticed a church near you or one you drive by often? If not, check the phone book. Call the church office. You should find a friendly voice to talk to. (Some churches don't have a full-time staff. If no ones there leave a message so they can get back to you.) If you'd like, ask to be matched up with someone in the church, any of us would love to meet you even before you attend. That way, you will know someone before you come! Also, we could pick you up Sunday morning, meet you for breakfast or coffee before church or at least meet you in the parking lot to show you where to go and what to do. Stop by a church on a weekday and ask someone to show you around so the place doesn't feel so foreign when you come on Sunday. Just show up. Check out when the worship service starts. Many churches have greeters to help you as you enter the sanctuary. If you'd like, ask them to introduce you to someone you can sit with. 5. |

Beginning this early worship service provided an opportunity for many new people to serve as greeters, children’s department workers, ushers, and other positions as well. The excitement level was high and the presence of God was tremendous. By all accounts, attendance exceeded expectations and plans are to continue the early worship service beyond Easter. Congratulations to Pastor Grizzle for his leadership and vision to begin this new worship service as a means to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with many more people. |

Sunday March 16th marked a new beginning here at Monroe Church. Pastor Joey Grizzle, along with church leadership, decided to begin an early morning worship service. Many new people are attending the church and there is a pressing need to accommodate the crowds. The initial service had an attendance of over 100 people.
