Welcome Guests
Your choice to join us in worship to God is a blessing to us. You are our honored
guests and It is our privilege to welcome you this morning. If you have not previ-
ously worshipped with the Northwest Tampa Church of Christ, we would like to fa-
miliarize you with our service. Our style of worship is simple, patterned after the
examples and teachings of the earliest Christians in the New Testament.
Singing: You will notice our worship in song is without instrumental accompani-
ment. We believe that a cappella congregational singing both enhances our per-
sonal involvement in worship, and conforms to the New Testament example.
Lord’s Supper: Following the example of the early church, we celebrate the Lord’s
Supper every Sunday (Acts 20:7). Jesus established the practice of sharing the bread
and cup so Christians might remember the sacrifice of his body and blood to make a
new covenant with God possible for us.
Offering: This is the opportunity for our members to support the ongoing work of
this church.
Preaching: The message, is the time when the “good news” is proclaimed and ap-
plied to our lives. We hope you will find it encouraging and Bible-based.
Invitation: At the close of most sermons, an “invitation” is extended. This provides
an opportunity for a public response. These responses may be to state one’s desire
to be baptized, bring a prayer concern before the church family, recommit one’s life
to the Lord, or be introduced as new members.
SEW & SEWS
The Sew & Sews will be making flowered headbands for the
girls in Honduras. They would appreciate donations of Plastic
or elastic headbands, cloth ribbon, ric rac, denim jeans (the
more worn the better) would love pastel colors but appreciate
anything. Please drop in the basket located on the lost &
found table in F1.
