OUR VALUES

What To Expect

We know it can be intimidating if you are a first-time guest or it’s been a while since you’ve attended church.  So seriously, relax.  We are ecstatic that you’ve chosen to hang with us.  There are many great churches in Hot Springs Village.  Thank you for giving of your valuable time to check out 242. But just in case we haven’t convinced you yet, here is some information to help alleviate some of that stress.

WHAT IS A WORSHIP GATHERING LIKE?

Sundays @ 9:30am
  • As you enter the sanctuary, find a seat anywhere you like.  We have tables closer to the front and traditional church pews near the back.  There are no assigned seats, so just make yourself at home.  And yes, you can bring your drinks/snacks inside the Sanctuary.
  • 9:25am, starts the five-minute countdown.
  • We begin with the band leading a few songs.  The lyrics will be on a couple of screens so you will be able to follow along.  Sing along if you’d like.  God doesn’t mind, (nor do we) whether you are on or off key.   
  • For reference, some folks will clap and lift their hands.  You choose to worship (or not at all) in whatever manner connects you to God.
  • This is followed by a time of community prayer.  We will then ask for those who would like to receive personal prayer to simply lift their hand.  Feel free to join with others.  If you just want to observe, it’s all good.   
  • Someone will then passionately preach/teach from the Bible.  
  • We close our services by speaking The Blessings found in Numbers 6:24-26, “May The Lord Bless You,”
  • Did I miss the part where you ask for money?  242 doesn’t receive a “formal” offering during our gathering. Giving kiosks are provided for those wanting to give cash/check.  For the more tech savvy, online giving is available.
