Worship Series
Better Together: The Book of Ruth
August Worship Series
Over the next four weeks, we will explore how God brings hope out of heartbreak, belonging out of loneliness, and new beginnings out of unexpected places. The story of Ruth reminds us that even when God seems quiet, grace is still at work—and life really is better when we walk through it together. Join us this August for Better Together as we explore how God brings hope, healing, and new beginnings.

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 for a special worship service led by Arcola's Youth leaders.
For the 10am hour, children can join the Celebration Choir (Kindergarten-5th grades) practice in the Choir Room or Fellowship Hour.
Our youngest disciples - infants, toddlers and preschool age - are welcomed in a more intimate 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.
Volunteer with Us!
Our Arcola Children's Ministry is powered by dedicated volunteers and we need your help! You can help change the lives of children as they experience Christ's love and acceptance each week. All lesson plans and activities will be provided - no experience needed!
