Worship Series
Hear, O heavens and listen O earth: The Prophet Isaiah
Fall Worship Series
In this 7-week journey through the Book of Isaiah, we explore the heart of a prophet who boldly spoke God’s truth to a people in crisis. From calls to repentance to breathtaking promises of restoration, Isaiah’s words challenge us to examine our lives, trust in God's sovereignty, and live in hope. Through visions of justice, peace, and the coming Messiah, we’ll discover that God is still speaking through Isaiah—offering comfort in chaos, light in darkness, and hope for all generations.

Ash Wednesday Worship
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season, and a time when we contemplate our mortality, sinfulness, and need of a Savior, remembering with confidence and gratitude that Christ has conquered death and sin. The worship service includes a prayer of confession and the imposition of ashes to symbolize our frailty and death. From dust we came, from dust we shall return. Check our calendar for the date of this service each year.
Night of Hope
During this annual worship service in December, we explore together ways in which to cope and find hope for loss amidst the noise of Christmas. This service includes honoring those we have lost by naming our Saints who have gone before us. A bell will be rung after each loved one is named. If you would like to name a special person in your life who you have lost, email Pastor Chris or Molly Riedel.
Sundays
Children's Sunday School, and Preschool and Nursery Care
Sunday mornings at Arcola offer a beautiful opportunity for families to take a break from our hectic schedules and come together to worship God. When you join us, you will find a warm and inviting community excited to welcome your entire family.
Our Arcola Kids Sunday School program for Kindergarteners through 5th Graders takes place from 9-10am each Sunday while the 9am Worship Service is going on in the Great Room. During this time, you can find our kids singing, making craft projects, reading Bible stories, and sharing what is on their hearts in discussion circles.
On the first Sunday of each month, our Children's Ministry gathers in Ruth Hall for a special worship service led by Arcola's Youth leaders.
For the 10am hour, children can join in the Celebration Choir (Grades 1-5) practice in the Choir Room or Fellowship Hour (Kindergarten - 5th Grade) in Room 119.
classroom or nursery environment during both worship services and the 10am hour, where they learn about God's love for them through caring volunteers and age-appropriate activities.
