Sunday Worship

 

Cross and CrownOf all the activities and ministries of a church, the weekly corporate worship is usually the most noticed. Our service is especially suited for a small congregation, including sharing among the worshippers as an integral part of the service. Hartford Bible Church is committed to a variety of styles of music in our worship service, always singing both contemporary praise with traditional (yea, even ancient) hymns. We like to have a variety of instruments and ensembles as well.

During the lockdown, we recorded and posted our entire worship service.  Now we only do that periodically, but click here to link to those video worship services.

These are the praise songs and hymns we are tentatively scheduled to sing. This is subject to change however - and the Bible even says to sing a new song unto the Lord!
Song leaders (or anyone) can download a pdf of the schedule here.
