Most
of
the
powerful
elements
of
life
transformation
happen
in
small
groups.
However,
some
activities
are
most
effective
in
large
groups.
For
this
reason,
we
all
gather
together
on
Sunday
mornings
for a
time
of
worship,
celebration,
encouragement
and
fellowship.
Our
Sunday
morning
meetings
for
worship
and
celebration
begin
at 10
a.m.
Everyone
is
welcome.
We do
offer
childcare
for
children
from
birth
through
five
years
old
for
the
entire
time
of
the
meeting,
but
parents
may
keep
their
children
of
any
age
with
them
during
the
gathering.
During
the
first
30
minutes
or
so,
we
focus
on
our
relationship
with
God
through
songs,
prayer
and
times
of
silence.
In
everything
we
do,
we
try
to
give
each
other
the
encouragement
and
opportunity
to
participate
in an
authentic
manner.
Members
of
the
congregation
usually
have
the
opportunity
to
praise
and
thank
God
individually.
Our
choice
of
music
varies
so as
to
give
everyone
an
opportunity
to
sing
songs
they
like
as
well
as to
love
others
by
singing
songs
others
may
like.
The
times
of
silence
are
to
give
us
all
opportunity
to
listen
to
God.
(For
many
people,
this
is
the
only
opportunity
they
have
to do
this
all
week.)
The
children,
ages
six
through
junior
high
school,
are
then
invited
to go
to
their
own
special
time
of
learning
and
fun.
Children
are
not
required
to
go,
but
most
of
them
love
the
special
time
our
children’s
ministry
leaders
prepare
for
them.
Since
loving
relationships
are
the
key
to
life,
the
adults
break
for
five
to
ten
minutes
to
greet
one
another,
catch
up on
the
week’s
happenings,
share
needs
and
just
enjoy
each
other’s
company.
This
is
usually
followed
by a
time
of
prayer
and
refocusing
our
attention
on
God.
Afterwards,
we
seek
to
hear
from
God,
either
through
the
testimonies
of
those
present
or
through
a
message
given
by
our
pastor—usually
both.
We
aim
to
end
this
time
around
11:15
a.m.
and
return
to an
informal
friendship
time
until
11:30
when
the
children’s
ministry
is
finished.
People
usually
stay
much
longer
than
11:30
since
we
have
one
of
the
nicest
refreshment
times
of
any
church
in
the
area.
Sometimes
it is
an
entire
lunch
(pizza,
sandwich
bar,
soups,
casseroles
or
salads).
Other
times
it
may
be
Krispy
Kreme
doughnuts,
bagels
or
ice
cream
Sundays.
The
children
have
their
own
special
refreshments
and
everyone
plays
or
talks
until
…
whenever
they
need
to go
home.
We
hope
you
can
come
sometime
soon!
We
meet
in
our
own
facility
located
at
1950
First
Avenue,
Walnut
Creek,
California.
