The History of Dime Box Church of Christ

Johnson, Arlington Davis, Jr., Howard McCain, Ollie C. Chriesman, A. C.

What to Expect
at a Typical Sunday Service at South Oak:
Our worship services include congregational A Capella singing of psalms, hymns and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5: 19). Several prayers are offered to God as well (Acts 2:42). Communion is observed by partaking of unleavened bread and fruit of the vine (I Corinthians 11: 23 – 29). Members make a financial offering for the poor and the spread of the gospel (I Corinthians 16: 1-2). Guests are not expected to give. Then a sermon from the Bible will be preached. All are encouraged to bring their Bibles and follow along (2 Timothy 2: 15). At the sermon’s end, the Lord’s invitation is offered (Matthew 11: 28 – 30) for any who want to become Christians or rededicate their lives to God. The service lasts about an hour. Guests may sit silently in the service, or they may participate. Expect to be greeted at the beginning and end of the service. If it is your first time here we will provide you with a welcome packet.
