FCC Morehead & the Disciples of Christ
We are glad you’re looking us up on the internet! But we hope you come visit us in Morehead so we can introduce ourselves personally. If you do, you’ll find a church that loves God and one another, and would love to have you become part of our community.
Here’s a brief look at what you can expect when you come to worship with us.
Where are you located?
You will find us on Main Street in downtown Morehead; there’s a map elsewhere for clarification. Our parking is behind the church.
What time does worship service start and how long is it?
Our morning worship starts at 10:45; odd, we know, but it almost always gets us out before noon!
What is your worship service like?
Our service is a combination of traditional worship and casual gathering. Our music is different from week to week – you might hear handbells, harp, tuba, solos, choir, trumpet, pipe organ, or jazz sax. You will get to listen in on a Time For Young Disciples, a children’s moment we offer twice a month. The sermons are Biblically based looks at contemporary life.
When you come, you can count on being offered communion. Every week we celebrate the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus by recreating the meal shared with his disciples before his crucifixion. The bread and juice, representing his body and blood, are offered to all believers regardless of their background or church membership. Our deacons serve communion to everyone as they sit in the pews, so if you’d rather not partake it’s not a problem -- just pass the tray to the next person.
What should I wear?
Some of our members are old-school and show up in their “Sunday best” every week. Others of us feel fine showing up in pants and a sweater, just like any other “business casual” day of the week. Our college students have been known to be here in jeans.You decide what’s most comfortable for you, and we’ll be glad to see you no matter what you’re wearing.
What will my children do during the service?
If your child is three years old or younger, you can take her to our nursery. The nursery is located just below the sanctuary, and you can be sure that the environment is safe and stimulating.
If your child is four years or older, he or she will go upstairs for Children's Church for individualized attention to the gospel and spiritual nourishment on their level.
What does the symbol of the chalice mean?
The Chalice, with the St. Andrews Cross embedded in its left side, is the appropriate symbol for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The Chalice speaks clearly of the centrality of Communion in the worship of the Christian Church; and St. Andrews Cross reminds us of our denominational heritage with Scotland through Thomas & Alexander Campbell. The flag of Scotland bears the white St. Andrews Cross on a field of blue. Andrew, the brother of Peter, spread Christianity throughout Asia Minor & Greece. It is said that Andrew was put to death by Romans in Greece by being nailed to a Cross of this shape. Peter is associated with Scotland because his bones were brought to Pictish, Scotland, in 733. The town of Pictish later became known as St. Andrews, & became the religious center & renowned pilgrimage site in Scotland.
If I have any other questions?
Call the church office and talk with Barbara, our church administrator (8:30 – 1, Monday through Thursday, (606.784.4836).Ask any one of the many folks in town who call our church home. We’re looking forward to meeting you!
