Service of the Word

NSKK uses “The Common Prayer Book” common to the worldwide Anglican/Episcopal churches to hold traditional-style services. The services proceed according to the words in this prayer book.

Reception

Please sign your name (though not mandatory) at reception, and you will be handed with the necessary items for the service.

Hymn

The service will begin with an announcement of hymn numbers. Songs from the hymn book will be sung together with a music accompaniment.
Don’t feel forced to sing and sitting down is also welcomed.

Greetings of Peace

We wish for each other’s peace and understanding and shake hands with others following the traditions of the ancient church. The congregation will come and greet you, but there’s no need to greet everyone.

Offerings

There may be a collection bag going around during service. Your contribution will be used for the needy. If you would like to give to the Lord, through the ministry of our church, offerings may be given through this collection bag.
献金袋

After the Eucharist, we will finish off by singing the last hymn. The service will come to an end when the candle lights go out.
