Permanent Change of Sunday Service Format & Services Now Concluding at 11:30am

To repeat last week’s announcement, Reach Out Church is reformatting its 8am and 10am services. The purpose of this change is to streamline our services to focus on the essentials –  the message and the worship. Time will be made at the end for the offering, brief announcements, and the meet and greet. We will be using email, our church webpage, social media, and other methods of digital communication as our primary mediums to inform the church of its announcements, news, and updates.

The services will now be formatted in the following order — worship, message/sermon, offering, announcements, and wrap up/meet & greet. This change will also shorten the length of our 10am service to an hour and a half format, concluding at 11:30am.
