What about a nursery?
Ivy Chapel does not currently have staff in our Nursery area. A changing table and rockers are available in the Nursery as needed for community members and guests.
What can I expect as a guest at worship?
When you arrive at the church please enter through the canopied doors into our Narthex. A church member will greet you and direct you towards the sanctuary where an usher will be available to hand out bulletins and answer any questions you may have. You may sit anywhere you like! The bulletin lists the order of the worship service. Our KYP (Keeping You Posted) is a weekly insert in the bulletin. It contains news and events at Ivy for the week(s) ahead.
What if I visit on a day you are celebrating communion?
Please join us! Everyone at Ivy Chapel is welcome to take part in communion. We celebrate communion on the first Sunday of each month as well as on special holy days. We celebrate communion at the front of the sanctuary at the steps of the altar. Everyone is invited to come forward when they are ready to receive bread and wine/grape juice as symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The bread is available at the first station from an usher. After eating the bread, move to the next station to partake of the cup. Grape juice is in the outer rings, wine in the inner rings. After consuming both bread and cup, you may return to your seat.
Do you have fellowship time?
Yes! All people are invited to the Fellowship Hall after worship each Sunday. Please join the community there for coffee, water, or juice and a light snack.
Where are the restrooms?
Restrooms are located in a small alcove off of the Narthex. A changing table is available in the Nursery in our office wing of the building. Signs will help to direct you.
