SUNDAY
SCHEDULE
Our
Sunday morning service begins at 10:30am and ends
around noon. This is followed by a time of tea and
fellowship. Sunday School for children aged 3-12 is
available during the service. We also have a room for
mothers with infants.
In the afternoon, we sometimes offer
classes and Bible studies for additional fellowship and
study. Anyone is welcome to attend these
meetings.
WHAT TO
EXPECT
What can you expect to happen when you attend a Sunday
morning worship service at SIBC?
A typical service begins with a song
or two, followed by announcements. We then spend 20-25
minutes worshipping God. All of the songs are in both
Japanese and English, and range from fast and upbeat to slow
and reflective.
Following
the singing, we have a time of teaching from the Bible. The
message is usually given in English, and those wanting to
listen in Japanese use the headphones to hear the
translation. Occasionally, the message is in Japanese and
the English speakers are asked to use the headphones. The
message usually lasts about 30 minutes.
After the message, we sometimes have a
prayer time, sing a couple more songs, and then we are
done.
We also celebrate communion (the
Lord's Supper) once a month.
Our desire is that the worship service
will be a time for everyone to relax, enjoy the message,
worship God and seek our Lord Jesus Christ. To this end,
everyone is invited to participate in the service to
whatever degree they feel comfortable.
YOU ARE
INVITED
Whether you are a Christian looking for fellowship and a
place to grow in your faith, or someone who is just
interested in learning more about the God of the Bible, we
would love to have you join us. Everyone is welcome at
SIBC!
