Arrival
Use the glass doors facing Bissonnet. An usher in a burgundy sash will walk you to a seat and hand you the program.
Sundays
Two and a half hours, and every minute of it on purpose.
Here is how a Sunday at Redeemed Harvest runs, what to wear, where the children go and where to park.
First time? Tell the usher at the door. We like to welcome visitors by name during announcements, but only if you say yes.
Your first Sunday
What to expect
Nobody will make you stand up alone. You may be asked your name; you can always just smile.
Parking
The lot fills by 9:50. Overflow parking is on Boone Road, and the parking lot team waves you in with orange batons.
Kids
Children's church is in the side building. Register once at the kids' desk and you get a numbered tag for pick-up.
Length
10:00 AM until about 12:30 PM. Sunday School before it, from 9:00.
Dress
Native attire, church clothes or work scrubs. You will see all three on any given Sunday.
Access
Step-free entrance on the parking lot side, reserved seats near the front, and large-print programs at the welcome desk.
A Sunday, hour by hour

Classes for adults by age group. This term: the book of Acts.
Opening prayer and praise
Harvest Voices lead. The words are on the screens in English with Yoruba and Igbo lines in italics.
Testimonies
Three or four members share what God has done this month. Two minutes each, and the drummer keeps time.
The word
Usually Pastor Adeyinka. About forty-five minutes, with the passage on screen.
Thanksgiving and announcements
Offering, birthdays, new babies and visitors. Then food, if it is the first Sunday.

Questions
Things visitors ask us
Do I have to be Nigerian?
No. Most of us are, and the food gives it away, but there are Ghanaians, Cameroonians, Jamaicans and a few Texans who married in. Everyone is welcome.
Is the service in English?
Yes. Some songs are in Yoruba or Igbo, and the words are on the screens. Interpretation is free on request.
Will I be asked to give?
There is an offering, and you are free to let the basket pass. Visitors are our guests.
Can I leave before the end?
Of course. The ushers will help you out quietly. Many nurses leave at noon for a shift.
