Untitled DocumentWhatto expect at a Christadelphian MeetingIf you were to go to a Christadelphian Meeting for the first time,would you expect to find Weird Rituals?Drugs? Brainwashing? Orgies? Suicide Pacts? Sorry to disappoint, but what you're likely to notice first are...HATSThis may seem a little irreverent, but the point is that we donot belong to the weird cultish fringe of Christianity, although in some areas we are distinctively differentfrom the mainstream.That's not to say that we don't have some little foibles....We have hats. Hats for the female memebers of the church. It doesn'treally matter what sort of hat and you'll see agreat variety. It could be argued that hats are a Christadelphianfoible, but there are Scriptural arguements like this.1 CorinthiansCh.11Verse 5:And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovereddishonors her head--it is just as though her head were shaved.Verse 6: If a womandoes not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; andif it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover herhead.Apart from the hats (which aren't a big deal really); a likingfor calling each other "brother" and "sister"(Which is Scriptural and sounds rather sweet, but can be a bit embarrassingsometimes) and a tendency to Greekify things (we like to call our churches "ecclesias" so that no-onemistakes a group of people for a building with a spire) we are actually very normal, unthreatening and indeed perhapsrather boring people. So, What else can you expect if you come to a Christadelphianmeeting? Our Memorial Service is held every Sunday after Sunday school. Each Brother contributes if he is able. We do this by rotating through a schedule of Presiding and Exhorting. The Presiding Brother leads the service, while the Exhorting brother does the “Preaching”. A typical Sunday observance is as follows: 1. Welcome and opening remarks 2. Singing of a Hymn 3. Reading of two portions of our daily reading planner by brethren who were recruited before the service. 4. Ecclesial Announcements given by the Presider 5. A free will offering or “collection” is taken. 6. Opening Prayer given by a Brother recruited before the service starts 7. Remarks in preparation for the Exhortation given by Presider 8. Singing of Hymn in preparation of the Exhortation 9. Exhortation given by Exhorting Brother as per schedule 10. Remarks about the exhortation by the Presiding Brother 11. Singing of a Hymn in preparation for the Emblems 12. Reading of Scripture in preparation for the partaking of the Emblems 13. Prayer for the Bread given by a brother chosen before the service starts 14. Breaking of Bread 15. Prayer for the wine given by a brother chosen before the service starts 16. Passing of the Cup 17. A moment of reflection concerning the gift offered to us through the sacrifice of Christ. 18. Singing of a Hymn 19. Closing in Prayer by a brother chosen before the service. Our meetings are sober and reverent, and you won't find many of the popular Gospel songs or hand clapping or 'ecstatic' utterances. (Sorry, if you happen to like this style of worship.) We have no paid clergy, and all members will serve the church if they are willing and able to do so. The Hymns sung in a Christadelphian meeting place all come from the Christadelphian Hymnal. Some of the Hymns we sing have been around for over three hundred years. The current Christadelphian Hymn Book was first published in 1964. We always have extra Hymnals out for visitors and guests. Christadelphians have an established daily Bible reading Guide. We read three portions of the Bible dailyas per the schedule, two portions from the Old Testament and One from the New. This allows us to complete one full reading of the Bible in a year’s time. On Sunday we like to do the readings together, having two brothers read a section aloud for the Ecclesia as a whole. The Free-will Offering is a general collection taken for the needs of the Ecclesia. We have no tithing requirements and each member is encouraged to give as they are able. The monies collected are generally used not only for the continued support of the Ecclesia but also provide all children of the Ecclesia an opportunity to attend a Christadelphian Bible School each year, which is a fraternal gathering open to all Ecclesias worldwide. Most of us attend the Fraternal Gathering at Hanover College, in Hanover, Indiana at the end of July each year. There are also Bible schools in Texas, Colorado, and Detroit, Michigan held each year. We do not require or expect visitors to donate. As a matter of fact, if a person doesn’t look interested, the collection may not even make it their way. We do this as not to embarrass anyone. We don’t want anyone to feel like they have to donate to attend. Exhortations are given each Sunday by a Brother in the Meeting according to a schedule approved by the brothers who Exhort. As we are commanded in the Bible (Hebrews Ch 10, Vv 23 -25) to exhort one another, Christadelphians make exhortation an essential part of our Sunday service. We feel it is beneficial to help one another with a gentle reminding of what is important. The Exhortations usually last about 25 - 30 minutes. The Bread and Wine are the most important part of the Memorial Service for us. While the Emblems themselves are merely symbols representing Christ’s body which was broken for us and His blood which was poured out for our sins, we take them very seriously. Only Baptized members of the Christadelphian faith are offered the Emblems because the Bible tells us to be of one mind and we believe that fellowship is important in paying homage to God through Christ and all that has been done for us. This does not meanthat others are not welcome to attend the service, just that, along with fellowship comes a responsibility to retain the Gospel Truths. We invite and welcome all attendants and feel that all who attend may come awaywith encouragement in hope that eventually we all become of one mindSowhat can you really expect from a visit to us?Agenuinely warm welcome A real desire to share the Gospel with you No pressure to join No collections or pressure to part you from your money Help in studying and appreciating the Bible Ifthis sounds the right kind of church for you,(and you don't mind our little foibles!), we would love to see you.
